Background and approach
Many people Mary has worked with have struggled with depressive or anxious symptoms and traumatic experiences. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, career challenges, ADHD concerns, and caregiving stress. Her background in health coaching helps people translate motivation into doable plans for daily life and long-term goals.
In sessions Mary helps set clear, small steps and tracks progress together. She draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment and solution-focused ideas to prioritize what will help fastest. Conversations aim to be straightforward, collaborative, and focused on what a person wants to change.
Mary trained and practiced in medical settings before moving into broader mental health work. Her combined social work and coaching experience guides a blended style that balances symptom-focused tools with real-world goal setting. She welcomes conversations about next steps and how therapy might fit into someone’s life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Mary commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening and tailoring support. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT-informed techniques teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Mary will help figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking goals between sessions. Together these options make it easier to use therapy around work, family, and other commitments.Questions people ask
