About Mary

Mary Herro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and ADHD. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, with conversations tailored to each person's needs.

She helps people address grief and loss and work through family conflict and relationship stresses. She also supports those struggling with anger, self-esteem, body image, and eating concerns.

Background and approach

Career changes, coping with life transitions, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder are also areas she commonly addresses. Mary adjusts her sessions to fit what each person needs. That can mean short-term coping strategies, longer-term talk therapy, or coaching-style work for concrete goals.

She emphasizes clear, practical steps alongside time to process emotions. Her background includes three decades of clinical work across a range of concerns. Over that time she has supported people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, addiction recovery, and challenges tied to adoption or blended families.

She also has experience with aging-related concerns and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Mary works collaboratively to design a plan that fits an individual’s schedule and circumstances.

If someone wants a calm, steady guide through change, she focuses on practical steps and steady support.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Two commonly used evidence-based therapeutic techniques are brief problem-solving work and structured talk therapy. Problem-solving focuses on identifying a specific problem, trying practical steps, and reviewing results; it helps when stress, daily anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming. Structured talk therapy provides time to understand patterns of thought and behavior, which can help with mood conditions, grief, and long-standing relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist will adjust methods and pace until the plan fits the person's needs and schedule.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone wants to write through thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or a busy week.
