About Anne
Anne York is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people take practical steps toward change. She greets clients with a warm, non-judgmental presence and focuses on clear goals. Her style is direct and collaborative.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for busy, worried parents and adults. Anne spent over a decade in the non-profit sector. She managed programs serving people impacted by mental health concerns, substance use, homelessness, employment barriers, and acculturation.
Background and approach
While overseeing services she kept clients involved in goal planning and program design. Alongside program work, Anne provided therapy that emphasized participation and real-world progress. She draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to help people identify strengths and next steps.
Motivational interviewing supports change when habits or substance use get in the way. In sessions Anne listens for what matters most and helps clients translate insights into doable actions. She uses short-term planning and check-ins to track progress.
Discussions are grounded in everyday language and concrete strategies rather than jargon. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting pressures, self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with each person to build a plan that fits their circumstances and pace.
How Anne’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Anne uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities. That means conversations start with what matters most to you and the pace is set together. For people facing stress, anxiety, or life transitions this helps center sessions on real concerns.She also uses solution-focused techniques to break problems into small, achievable steps. These are short-term plans you can try between meetings, which can make progress feel more immediate. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or facing habits that get in the way; it helps clarify values and build internal motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as you make progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you talk face to face, phone can be quicker and needs less bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging works well for daily support and short updates. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to keep up with regular sessions.
