About Mary

Mary Newbauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She earned her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1999 and brings long-standing clinical experience to work with people facing loss, transition, and the stresses of everyday life.

After many years of providing end-of-life support to patients and families, she continues to offer counseling that focuses on easing emotional pain related to bereavement, divorce, the end of significant relationships, and the challenges of aging. She works with individuals navigating life transitions, helping them adapt to change and find ways to build a renewed sense of life and purpose.

Her clinical approach draws on solution-focused techniques along with client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. Mary emphasizes supportive presence and active listening, combining practical strategies with the perspective gained from years of professional experience. As a licensed social worker, she aims to create a calm, empathetic space where people can process grief, manage anxiety and depression, address relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and develop coping skills for caregiving, career stress, and midlife challenges.

Mary welcomes those seeking thoughtful, steady guidance through difficult times and offers compassionate, experienced support to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and goals, offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices. This approach is helpful for people processing grief, relationship changes, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then builds practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. It often involves short-term exercises and goal-focused work tailored to each person.

Mindfulness therapy introduces gentle practices that increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. These techniques can support stress reduction, improve emotional regulation, and complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains practical and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or to access care from home. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent guidance and support regardless of location.
