About Neeley
Neeley Cox is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 18 years of experience in social work and clinical practice. She works with adults on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and sleep difficulties. Sessions focus on clear, practical strategies rather than abstract theory.
She started as a social worker in 2000 and has provided psychotherapy since 2008. Her background includes outpatient therapy, work in local hospitals, inpatient adult and gero-psychiatric units, and experience in state correctional facilities. That variety informs a down-to-earth approach to common struggles.
In sessions she helps people identify and change negative thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, stress, or low mood. Expect concrete tools to manage thoughts and behaviors and short, actionable steps to practice between meetings. She uses humor and straightforward conversation when appropriate.
Neeley pays attention to how life events affect daily functioning. She addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the practical fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, panic, and social anxiety.
Work around sexuality, narcissism, and life purpose is offered within the scope of adult individual therapy. Sessions aim to deepen understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Clients leave with skills they can use outside the session and clearer ways to move forward.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Neeley works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. Behavioral techniques add clear activities and exercises to shift routines that interfere with sleep, relationships, or daily functioning.She also draws on methods that address trauma-related symptoms by helping people process distressing events at a pace they can manage. Those approaches include grounding and stepwise exposure to reduce intense reactions, along with skills for regulating strong emotions. These methods are helpful for relationship trauma, panic symptoms, and lingering impacts of abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and how you prefer to work, then recommend strategies and adjust them over time. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and changed to fit what actually helps.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still focusing on practical tools and therapeutic tasks that move work forward.
