Mary Anne Cox, LCSW

Mary Anne Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to adapt care to each person's needs.

She listens carefully to understand what matters most to each client. Conversations and plans are shaped around practical steps and realistic goals. The work often includes talking through relationships, caregiving strain, body image concerns, or feelings of isolation.

Over four decades of clinical practice have led her to help people facing chronic pain, illness, and disability as well as those dealing with hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. The LCSW credential indicates licensure in New York. Cost varies with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a reader can select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Mary Anne emphasizes tailoring the schedule and care to fit each person’s situation.

Therapeutic techniques and online care

Mary Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations toward practical change. One approach focuses on coping skills and problem-solving to reduce overwhelming stress and anxiety; it involves identifying manageable steps and small behavior changes to break larger problems down. Another approach centers on grief and loss work, helping people name their experience, process difficult emotions, and find ways to honor what has changed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their current needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when they travel or live outside the therapist's city, and therapists will discuss practical arrangements that fit daily life and goals.
