Background and approach
Mary also helps people tell the story of their experiences to make sense of what happened and what they want next. Mary brings four years of clinical experience in Wisconsin to her work. She supports people coping with parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, chronic illness, and the aftermath of abuse.
She also addresses concerns such as addiction, attachment challenges, and mood shifts. In sessions Mary focuses on concrete goals and practical changes. She works collaboratively to create coping strategies, communication techniques, and short plans for handling stressful moments.
Progress is measured by what feels different in everyday life. People who come to Mary can expect straightforward discussion and step-by-step plans. She blends cognitive-behavioral tools with narrative and trauma-focused methods to match a person’s needs.
The aim is to help people feel more in control and more able to move forward.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Mary frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot thoughts that increase anxiety and replace them with more helpful thinking. CBT is often used for panic, worry, and mood-related problems and focuses on small behavior changes that reduce distress.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful memories and reduce the way past events intrude on present life. This approach slows things down, names what happened, and builds safety through clear steps and grounding practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they test ideas and adjust plans as progress happens.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone meetings are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible, shorter exchanges that can fit into a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work and keep momentum between sessions.
