About Maryann
Maryann Kenney is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her work often centers on life transitions and the stress that comes from work and wellbeing concerns.
Maryann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a compassionate, collaborative manner. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies, building emotional regulation, and clarifying life purpose. She pays attention to how chronic health problems, grief, and isolation shape daily life.
She has particular familiarity with the pressures that come from newsroom and field reporting, and understands the demands faced by journalists and photojournalists. That experience informs how she frames workplace stress and career-related decisions.
In sessions she listens for attachment patterns, abandonment fears, and communication breakdowns that affect relationships. She helps people identify small, realistic steps to change interactions and reduce loneliness.
Maryann aims to help clients develop greater self-understanding and personal agency. Her approach is steady and empathetic, and she works with people to build resilience and practical skills they can use outside the therapy room.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Maryann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building emotional regulation and coping skills through step-by-step practice, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach addresses trauma recovery by helping people name and process distressing experiences at a pace that feels manageable, which can reduce flashbacks and overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then try strategies that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and useful for the person in front of her.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy workday and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during job changes, medical care, or when living in another country, since she accepts international clients. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered and how they can fit into your routine.
