About Whitney
Whitney Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationships, parenting stress, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She trained at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and has a background in fine arts. Her work history includes addiction counseling, community clinical work, and school social work across different levels of care. That variety informs how she approaches practical problems in daily life.
In sessions she uses talk-based work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. She helps people set clear, reachable goals and breaks problems into manageable steps. She also uses mindfulness approaches to help with stress and emotional regulation.
Whitney has run both individual and group sessions and has supported adults, young adults, and teens to build skills they can use outside of sessions. She describes her style as direct and friendly, focusing on skills people can practice between meetings.
She is open to people from all backgrounds and maintains a strict stance against hate or discrimination. If someone wants to begin, she asks they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to review goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
Approach and how online sessions work
Whitney uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build practical steps toward those goals; it is commonly used with addictions and ambivalence about change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, current needs, and personal preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what feels useful and what does not.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. If you plan to pursue remote work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings around work or school, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on making therapy realistic to maintain progress between meetings rather than on specific platform features.
