About Maryann

Maryann Kenney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience supporting people through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery, offering steady guidance to those navigating grief, attachment issues, and isolation. Her practice includes extensive work with older adults, women, and young professionals facing workplace stress, questions about life purpose, and interpersonal difficulties.

Maryann brings particular familiarity with the demands and stresses that journalists and photojournalists encounter, applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques to foster resilience and practical coping strategies. Her style is compassionate and collaborative, centering each person’s unique history while encouraging emotional regulation and self-understanding. She pays close attention to the emotional landscapes of midlife, chronic health conditions, and personal healing journeys.

Across her work, Maryann aims to help people build meaningful skills for managing distress, strengthen relationships, and reclaim a sense of personal empowerment. She values empathy and professional insight, creating a space where clients can explore their experiences and move toward greater stability and purpose.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Maryann applies trauma-focused, evidence-based techniques that are designed to help people process distressing events and reduce the lasting impact of trauma. These methods focus on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and on developing ways to manage triggers and overwhelming emotions.

She also uses skills-based interventions to address anxiety, depression, and stress. These practical strategies teach techniques for emotional regulation, coping with chronic health concerns, and improving day-to-day functioning, which can be especially useful for clients facing workplace pressure or life transitions.

Relationship and attachment-focused work is another emphasis, helping clients explore patterns in close relationships, improve communication, and build more secure connections. This approach supports those coping with abandonment, family problems, or the interpersonal effects of illness and caregiving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maryann works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic limits, and maintain continuity of care across life changes.
