About Maryann
Maryann Steiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 35 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Maryann draws on decades in medical settings where she provided psychotherapy and life coaching to people with a wide range of concerns. That background includes work related to chronic and acute medical diagnoses, accidents, substance use, and community referrals. Her practice also notes experience with foster care and adoption issues from a personal and professional perspective.
Her way of working is direct and practical. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and testing small changes between meetings. She uses client-centered work so the person's priorities guide the sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Maryann also integrates mindfulness exercises to help with stress and sleep, and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate to address habits or trauma-related symptoms. She adapts the pace and methods to the individual, combining short-term problem work with deeper discussion when needed.
People who want a practitioner with long clinical experience in medical and community settings may find her approach straightforward and grounded. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and goals, with sessions guided by what feels most important. This approach helps with relationship concerns, life transitions, and figuring out immediate next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or problematic habits.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Maryann will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered conversations, CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or hypnotherapy techniques are the best fit. That decision is based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences, and can change over time.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let people use audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises - like mindfulness practice or CBT worksheets - for remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
