She also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family concerns, infidelity, and first responder stress. Mary pays attention to what a person wants to change and adjusts her style to match those goals.

Approach-driven online sessions that fit your life
Mary uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday situations. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing impulsive reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping someone notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values; it can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of important goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people keep momentum while fitting therapy into real life.
