About Maryann
Maryann Steiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Maryann speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She spent decades working in medical settings, offering psychotherapy and life coaching to people facing illness, injury, and complex life changes. That background means she often works with people juggling health problems, caregiving responsibilities, or long-term stressors.
Background and approach
She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues from her years as a foster parent. Maryann uses a blend of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She often draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, listening space.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools are options she may introduce when helpful for sleep, pain, or coping with strong emotions. Sessions focus on practical skills and short-term steps, while also attending to deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set realistic goals, try new strategies, and track what works. For many people the aim is clearer thinking, calmer responses to stress and anger, and better daily functioning.

Approaches Maryann lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Maryann frequently uses client-centered work to start, which means she listens carefully and shapes sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps establish trust and makes it easier to set goals that feel realistic and relevant.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that teaches ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and depression because it breaks down problems into small, manageable steps and gives homework to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative conversation can start in the first sessions and change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or times when traveling to an office would be difficult.
