About Mary
Dr. Mary Fields meets people where they are and helps them manage stress and anxiety in practical ways. She writes short-term goals with each person and focuses on small steps that fit daily life.
Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for worried parents and busy adults. Mary is a psychologist licensed in Colorado and North Carolina. She brings three years of clinical experience and draws from several therapy approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and interactive, focusing on skills, meaning, and patterns that affect everyday life. She commonly helps with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, trauma and grief, and career transitions. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.
The work often blends skill practice with deeper reflection about values and life direction. Her style is collaborative and respectful. People can expect a mix of talking, guided exercises, and homework when it fits their goals.
Treatment plans are shaped together, with attention to what feels manageable each week. Outside of clinical work she enjoys being outdoors, watching thrillers, and spending time with her husband, three children, and a cat who likes to play fetch. She practices in Indiana and offers sessions in English.
How therapy approaches translate online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations so they can respond rather than react. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can be used day to day.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes. It is practical and skill oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing impulses. Sessions might include trying worksheets or short experiments between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process may shift over time as goals evolve, and treatment plans are adjusted together.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth choice for a focused talk. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or writing through issues when scheduling is tight. These options give flexibility and different ways to practice skills between sessions.
