About Anne
Anne York is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She greets people with a direct, practical style and invites them to take the first step toward change. Her background in program work informs how she designs therapy sessions and supports goal-setting.
Before moving into independent practice, she spent many years in the nonprofit sector managing programs for people affected by mental health challenges, substance use, homelessness, and related life changes.
How Anne works
That experience shaped how she helps people build skills for daily life and plan next steps. Therapy sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. She uses a client-centered approach that treats the individual as the expert on their own life.
Solution-focused techniques help break problems into manageable steps and create short-term goals. Anne also draws on trauma-focused work when past harm affects current functioning. Sessions often include practical coping tools, relapse prevention planning for addictions, and strategies for managing mood shifts and stress.
She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting strain, family conflict, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on clear planning and steady progress.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Anne uses client-centered therapy to focus each session on what matters most to the person seeking help. This approach centers on listening and building goals that match an individual's priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.She also uses solution-focused strategies to break problems into small, actionable steps. Those techniques are helpful for stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and when someone wants quick, measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend ways of working that fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
