About Maryann
Maryann Kenney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also works with people facing life purpose questions and challenges around aging, chronic illness, and isolation.
Maryann often sees people who are rethinking work, relationships, or health. She has experience with older adults, women, and young professionals, and understands pressures that come from demanding careers such as journalism and photojournalism. Conversations in her work are direct and practical, focusing on coping skills and clearer next steps.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attachment issues, feelings of emptiness, dissociation, and dependency patterns. Sessions include talking through relationship patterns, grief, and the effects of trauma. For people living with chronic pain, illness, or facing end-of-life concerns, she spends time on manageable strategies to reduce daily strain.
Maryann brings a steady, collaborative style to sessions. She helps people organize their thoughts, practice emotional regulation, and test small changes between meetings. The aim is to make therapy something that fits into everyday life rather than an added burden.

Evidence-based approaches for remote work and life change

One approach focuses on practical skills for emotional regulation and stress management, teaching simple exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach examines relationship patterns and attachment issues, helping people notice habitual responses and try different interactions that feel more effective.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adapt methods so they match your needs and what feels doable. That collaborative process helps clarify what to try first and how to adjust over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue therapy when life or health changes make in-person visits difficult. Ask about the available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine.
