Mary N Coniglio, LCSW, CSW

Mary N Coniglio is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and major life transitions. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW, which reflect advanced training in clinical social work and direct therapeutic practice. Mary combines practical, solution-focused strategies with deeper exploration of beliefs and life patterns to help clients find clarity and purpose.

Her work addresses a broad range of issues including aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and caregiver stress, family and communication problems, first responder stress, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife challenges, and difficulties related to narcissism and control. She draws on client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic perspectives to match interventions to each person’s needs.

Mary aims to create a supportive, collaborative environment where individuals can uncover recurring patterns, test new ways of relating, and develop concrete strategies that align decisions with their core values. Her approach emphasizes self-awareness, practical steps, and rebuilding confidence so work, relationships, and daily life more closely reflect what matters most to the individual.

Approach-Focused Care for Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy places the person at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach helps when someone needs support clarifying values, building self-esteem, or making decisions that reflect who they truly are.

Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for managing stress and anxiety, reducing rumination, and improving emotional regulation.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is well suited for career shifts, lifestyle adjustments, and other situations that require commitment to new behaviors.

Determining the right approach is a shared process. Mary works with each person to explore their needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities while working with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward meaningful change.
