About Whitney
Whitney Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with adults, young adults, and teens on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She trained at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and has worked in addiction counseling, community mental health, and as a school social worker. That mix of settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and building skills that can be used after therapy.
Whitney uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. She draws on mindfulness practices at times to help people notice how thoughts and feelings affect behavior. In session she helps set clear, attainable goals and breaks bigger problems into manageable steps.
Her background in fine arts and varied life experience inform how she connects with people. She has led both individual and group work, helping clients learn coping skills and relapse prevention strategies when addiction is involved. She also supports people navigating mood disorders, communication problems, and codependency concerns.
Whitney welcomes clients from all backgrounds and states a zero tolerance for hate or discrimination. She speaks English and does not accept international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Whitney commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is a hands-on approach that helps with anxiety, anger, depression, and managing impulses. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find personal reasons to make changes, which is often useful for addiction and behavior change.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Whitney works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She starts with practical goals, adjusts techniques as needed, and checks in about what helps and what doesn’t.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation works better than a full hour. Talk through the format you prefer when you schedule the first session so arrangements match your daily routine.
