About Maryann Steiner

Maryann Steiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has spent decades providing psychotherapy and life coaching within medical settings. She has worked in a medical environment for the last 32 years, offering support to people facing a wide range of concerns including chronic and acute medical diagnoses, accidents, community referrals, substance use issues, depression, relationship difficulties, and foster care challenges. She also drew on personal experience as a foster parent for ten years, specializing in the care of teenagers.

She describes her approach as warm and attentive, listening with respect and compassion while helping clients take the first steps toward addressing their concerns. Her clinical style blends cognitive behavioral principles with psychodynamic perspectives, and she also uses client-centered techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based strategies as appropriate. Treatment plans and session dialogue are tailored collaboratively to fit each person’s unique needs and goals.

Maryann emphasizes the importance of acknowledging a problem, seeking help, and building a trusting relationship with a therapist as key parts of the change process. She positions herself as a supportive and empowering partner in that process. Maryann is based in New York and is not currently accepting new clients.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the way that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations.

Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For those weighing whether virtual sessions are right for them, the choice often comes down to practical needs, personal comfort with remote communication, and the type of support sought.
