About Mary
Mary Anne Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue and life purpose concerns.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens and talks through the immediate problems you bring. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to you, whether that is managing a mood concern, navigating a breakup, or adjusting after a health change.
She helps people organize their options and try practical steps that fit daily life. That can mean short-term problem solving, learning ways to handle strong emotions, or pacing changes when life feels overwhelming. She aims to reduce the things that get in the way of moving forward.
Mary Anne draws on decades of clinical social work practice to guide sessions. She adapts the pace and focus as needs change over time. The plan can shift from symptom relief to longer reflections about purpose and next steps when the client is ready.

This involves breaking down life changes into manageable steps, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. It is useful for people deciding on work changes, caregiving roles, or midlife shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time as priorities shift and new information arises.
