About Mary
Mary Kay Zayani is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing anxiety, low self esteem, grief, relationship strain, or major life change. Her tone is warm and encouraging, and she focuses on helping clients find practical steps forward.
She uses a blend of approaches that aim to build on strengths and shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns tied to attachment and relationships, and practicing skills to manage strong emotions. Mary Kay describes her role as a nonjudgmental witness who listens, soothes, and helps people land on choices that feel right for them.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work in clinical counseling from Columbia University and licensure as an LCSW in New York and California. That training informs a mix of client-centered work and cognitive approaches aimed at changing core beliefs and behaviors.
In sessions she focuses on practical tasks like stabilizing emotions, learning self-soothing techniques, and testing new ways of communicating. She can talk through career questions, parenting struggles, intimacy and attachment concerns, and issues like addiction and body image. Clients often spend time building skill sets they can use outside sessions.
People who prefer a compassionate, steady guide benefit most from her style. If you want a therapist who listens closely and helps you try small changes, she may be a good match. To confirm session formats and times, please check current booking options before scheduling.
