About Maryann
Maryann Steiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on clear, practical support for everyday problems so clients can feel steadier and more capable. She works with adults on issues like depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles.
Maryann draws on client-centered methods to learn what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also offers mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person's goals. Her background includes long experience in medical settings providing psychotherapy and life coaching. That work involved chronic and acute illness, accident recovery, and community referrals.
She also has experience related to foster care, having been a foster parent for ten years and worked with teens in care. In sessions she listens with respect and compassion and helps people take small, doable steps toward change. She tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than using one fixed method.
The aim is practical - helping people cope better day to day. Maryann encourages people who are ready to make a change and wants to build a trusting working relationship. She supports clients as they try new ways of thinking and behaving.
If someone wants steady, experienced guidance for anxiety and related concerns, she helps them move forward.
Therapeutic methods for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person and follows their priorities in sessions. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist and client to set goals together.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thinking, and trying new behaviors. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps find what fits each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when written reflection helps. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other life demands.
