Background and approach

Mary Beth aims for concrete steps that can be used between sessions. Her background includes graduate study in counseling and a decade of clinical work. That experience informs a straightforward style that balances goal setting with empathy.

She can also integrate faith-based perspectives when a client asks for that approach. Common concerns she addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, substance-related struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and ADHD-related challenges. She also helps with more specific issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic illness worries, and caregiver strain.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The first appointment is used to share a story and set practical goals. Mary Beth helps clients build small, steady habits that add up to meaningful change.

How Mary Beth’s Approaches Work Online

Mary Beth commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy during online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take meaningful action even when feelings are uncomfortable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s needs and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills to practice between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and role-playing exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, tracking goals, or getting timely homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on change even when schedules are tight.
