About Mary

Mary Roldan Balboa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, and challenges related to ADHD. She brings a strengths-based mindset rooted in positive psychology, focusing on what is working in a person's life and building on those resources to promote greater meaning and well-being.

Her clinical background spans hospitals, a crisis center, nursing homes, hospice care, school settings, and private practice, giving her a wide perspective on life transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, and family dynamics. She works in both English and Spanish and is based in Wisconsin while pursuing advanced study - she is a doctoral student at Capella University working toward a doctorate in psychology with a specialization in developmental psychology.

Mary uses evidence-informed tools that emphasize practical strategies, emotional resilience, and purposeful goal setting. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques to address panic, postpartum concerns, communication problems, financial stress, and issues of guilt, shame, or forgiveness. She aims to create a collaborative counseling experience that helps clients clarify values, set achievable steps, and integrate simple practices into daily life to support ongoing growth and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mary commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy, creating space for clients to explore their goals and values while the therapist follows the client’s lead; this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life direction. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering structured tools useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and problem-solving around stressors. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can support emotional regulation and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Mary works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Mary is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and integrate therapy into everyday life with fewer logistical barriers.
