Mary Guillory, LPC

Mary Guillory believes that effective therapy grows from honest sharing and a steady, trusting relationship between client and therapist. She understands that many people find it difficult to name and express their feelings to someone they do not yet know, so she focuses on creating a supportive environment where trust is earned over time. As an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), she aims to form a collaborative partnership that emphasizes acceptance and compassion while tailoring care to each person’s needs.

Mary offers trauma-informed care alongside person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches, drawing on these methods to help individuals who are coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. Her practice centers on meeting clients where they are, listening without judgment, and guiding them toward practical strategies and insights that align with their goals. She prioritizes personalized attention and works to make the therapy process feel respectful and attainable for each client.

Throughout her work Mary maintains a calm, encouraging manner and a commitment to helping clients develop greater self-awareness, coping skills, and resilience. Her focus is on building a therapeutic relationship that supports healing and sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Mary often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take actions that align with what matters most; this approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. In addition, Mary draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients’ own perspectives guide the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Mary works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy feels tailored and manageable.

Online therapy with Mary is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive support from locations outside a traditional office setting.
