About Mary
Dr. Mary Jane Preece is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She brings two decades of experience as an LPC and LPCC in Ohio.
Her manner is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping people find usable ways to cope. She uses approaches that center the person and their goals. Sessions often look at thought patterns and daily habits to reduce overwhelm.
Practical skills and small behavior changes are common tools in her work.
Background and approach
Mary Jane also helps people facing grief, caregiver strain, and career stress. She pays attention to how family history and attachment issues shape current struggles. Clients often work on communication, boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Trauma, abuse, and complicated loss are part of her background too. In those cases she blends mindful practices with strategies to manage intense emotions. The aim is steadier moods and clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Her practice includes coaching-style support for life transitions, fertility and aging concerns, and chronic illness challenges. Sessions may include practical planning, values clarification, and steps to improve daily functioning. Mary Jane works in English and conducts sessions for people located in Ohio.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with formats including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Dr. Preece often uses client-centered therapy to center each session on the person's priorities. That approach focuses on careful listening, clarifying goals, and tailoring conversations so people feel understood and guided toward what matters to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions are framed as teamwork where skills, insight, and real-life tasks are tested and refined together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good lower-bandwidth option or a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and carrying forward skills between sessions. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health limitations while still working on meaningful change.
