About Mary
Mary approaches each person with empathy and without judgment, prioritizing where clients are in their lives and what they hope to accomplish. She strives to make the start of therapy feel manageable and to create sessions that are constructive and goal-oriented. Using a collaborative style, Mary helps clients set realistic goals and develop practical strategies to address stress, coping, relapse prevention, blended family dynamics, guilt and shame, and other difficult experiences. Her focus is to support meaningful change while honoring each client’s pace and preferences.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while following the client’s lead. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings, clarify values, and build confidence at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive behaviors by teaching concrete skills and strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and small, practical steps toward desired outcomes, which can be especially helpful for clients seeking targeted changes or coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to create a plan that feels manageable and relevant to each person’s circumstances.
Online therapy with Mary is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care without travel, support continuity between sessions, and allow clients to use the format that fits their daily life and communication style.
