About Mary
Mary often works with adolescents and young adults facing academic, social, and emotional pressures, and she also supports adults working through family difficulties, relationship strain, and the aftermath of trauma or loss. Her work is collaborative and tailored to each person - she partners with clients to set meaningful goals and builds strategies that fit their daily lives.
Her practice draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Solution-Focused Therapy, all aimed at improving emotional regulation, communication, self-esteem, and decision-making. Mary takes a holistic view that considers family, school, and community influences, which can be especially important when supporting teens.
She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice from Loyola University New Orleans. Licensed in Louisiana as a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Mary is available to guide clients at their own pace as they work toward growth and recovery.
Therapeutic approaches available through online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns. It is commonly used to address anxiety, stress, low mood, and difficulties with problem solving by teaching practical skills and strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact; this approach can help people who have experienced abuse, accidents, or other distressing events to regain a sense of safety and control. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clear goals - it is especially useful for navigating life transitions, improving decision-making, and building forward momentum in a shorter timeframe.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy unfolds so clients receive the most helpful support for their situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats offer flexibility for clients who live in different parts of Louisiana or who need alternatives to in-person visits, while still allowing regular, consistent contact with a licensed professional or therapist.
