Corey McSweeney

Corey McSweeney is an LCSW practicing in New York who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, panic, stress, and related concerns. He draws on nine years of clinical experience and aims to build a straightforward, honest working relationship. Corey keeps sessions relaxed and structured so people can talk openly without feeling judged.

He previously worked at a county mental health clinic and now sees clients in private practice. That clinic experience exposed him to many different problems and helped shape his practical approach. He emphasizes rapport first, believing a strong connection makes therapy more useful.

Corey uses an approach that balances structure with flexibility. He invites clients to be direct about commitments, goals, and any concerns about the work. He also uses personal disclosure at times when it helps the conversation and encourages feedback throughout the process.

His clinical interests include generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar. He also notes work with anger, impulse control, and obsessive behaviors among other difficulties. For some issues listed in his biography he recommends seeking a provider with specialized care when appropriate.

Corey describes his role as a guide who listens to each person’s story and helps them move toward clearer goals. He aims to make therapy productive and, when possible, even a bit enjoyable. He asks clients to be honest about their efforts so he can tailor support to their needs.
