About Maryann
Maryann Steiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 35 years of practice. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, substance concerns, trauma and a wide range of life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on clearer ways to handle recurring problems.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Maryann also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches when they fit a person’s goals. Her use of these methods is intended to support clearer thinking, better coping, and more manageable daily routines.
Much of her background is in medical settings where she provided psychotherapy and life coaching. She has experience helping people with chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and co-morbid conditions. She also has a history as a foster parent and has worked with people connected to adoption and foster care.
Maryann tends to focus on concrete problems like sleeping trouble, anger, low self-esteem, commitment and control issues, hoarding, and communication problems. She also assists people dealing with guilt, shame, family of origin concerns, and intimacy-related issues. The practical work often includes setting small behavioral experiments and new routines.
Her approach balances listening with clear steps to try. She asks questions, suggests strategies rooted in CBT and mindfulness, and reviews progress over time. People who want structured, straightforward work on specific problems will know what the sessions will involve.
How Maryann Uses CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Online
Maryann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short experiments to try between meetings, and step-by-step plans to change routines and reactions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversation that follows a person’s concerns and priorities. That approach is useful when someone needs time to clarify goals and figure out which practical steps to try next. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a tool to increase awareness, reduce reactivity, and support sleep and stress regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maryann will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. She adapts methods based on what helps most in early sessions and adjusts plans as progress or obstacles appear.
