Mary Taylor, LCSW

Mary Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience across emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient treatment settings. She blends extensive clinical experience with a practical belief that even in times of struggle a way forward can be found, helping people identify patterns that limit well-being and learn skills to improve daily life.

Her practice emphasizes relational, nervous system-informed work rooted in attachment principles, mindfulness, and polyvagal theory. Mary takes a warm, collaborative stance and focuses on creating experiences of safety that support lasting change. She attends to both internal experiences and the ways those patterns show up with partners, family members, and other important relationships.

This approach is often well suited to people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, or stuck in familiar relational cycles, as well as those coping with trauma, grief, mood concerns, or life transitions. Mary offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing framework and begins with an initial consultation to determine whether her style is a good match. She is based in Texas and welcomes the opportunity to speak with prospective clients.

Approaches that inform online care and therapeutic connection

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps clients understand how attachment styles influence reactions in relationships and supports building more secure, responsive ways of relating to partners, family, and friends.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills for noticing thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment. This approach can be helpful for reducing reactivity to stress, managing anxiety, and improving emotional regulation.

Somatic Therapy attends to the body’s signals and the nervous system, using awareness of bodily sensations to process stress, trauma, and habitual tension patterns. It can be especially useful when emotional experiences are closely linked with physical responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds so the treatment plan aligns with the client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for connecting by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals who bring evidence-informed approaches to the therapeutic relationship.
