About Mary
Mary Jo Greenwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She practices in Wyoming and offers online work with people who want steady, practical help for life’s hard moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, addictions, and ADHD. Her work often includes people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment questions, and the effects of abuse or neglect.
Background and approach
Mary Jo has practiced across many settings. Her background includes psychiatric inpatient care, group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient counseling. She has spent a large portion of her career involved with child welfare and juvenile services and has experience supporting people navigating military and VA systems.
Her style is down-to-earth and client-led. She uses a trauma-informed lens and draws from several approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and solving problems that get in the way of daily life.
Mary Jo helps each person build a flexible plan that changes as needs change. She encourages gradual steps - for example starting with messaging, then moving to phone or video when someone feels ready. She aims to reduce barriers so people can stick with therapy and see steady progress.
If someone wants to begin, the typical process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting to talk about goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Mary Jo uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals steer the work. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting priorities, making decisions, or building self-compassion.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, manage mood, and address ADHD-related challenges like organization and time management.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Mary Jo will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan over time. This collaboration helps make sure sessions stay useful and relevant as life changes.
Online therapy makes that collaborative work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or for people who find writing easier than speaking. Together these formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and take gradual steps toward longer sessions when they feel ready.
