About Whitney
Whitney Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She draws on clinical work in addiction counseling, community mental health, and school social work to support adults, young adults, and teens. Her practice includes work related to stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists attention to codependency and communication problems among her focus areas.
Whitney uses talk therapy as a primary tool. She often applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone is working on change related to substance use or other habits.
Her background includes a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and a foundation in the fine arts. That mix shows up in practical work: goal-setting, skill building, and straightforward discussion rather than abstract labels. She has led both individual and group sessions across different care settings.
Whitney aims to help people build concrete skills for daily life. That can mean managing mood swings, tackling social anxiety, setting better boundaries, or finding ways to cope with parenting strain and relationship stress. She welcomes people from all backgrounds and does not tolerate hate or discrimination.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that feel doable. Her style is direct and conversational, with an emphasis on what someone can try between meetings. People who want a therapist who combines practical strategies with steady support may find her approach useful.
How sessions work
How Whitney uses therapy methods online
Whitney commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities, giving space to talk and to be heard while the therapist reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who want to change habits like substance use. That approach listens for a person’s own reasons to change and helps turn unsure motivation into small, practical steps. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences over time.
