About Mary
Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety. She practices in Mississippi and works with adults facing life changes, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. Mary aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and busy people alike.
She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations focus on what matters most now - daily stress, sleep problems, low mood, managing anger, or concerns about attention and focus.
Background and approach
Mary listens for patterns and helps clients notice what gets in the way of feeling steady and connected. Mary uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. She helps clients try small behavior changes, test new ways of thinking, and practice stress-reduction skills between sessions.
Therapy often includes goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what really works in everyday life. Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Clients are invited to name priorities and move at a pace that fits them.
Sessions also address relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, caregiving stress, and issues related to identity and sexual expression. When someone needs flexible options, Mary offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients who speak English can connect, and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session according to therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying new behaviors that change mood and functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, providing a steady, empathic space to explore feelings and decisions.Mary collaborates with each person to find the best fit. She will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, and together they decide which approach or blend to use. That collaborative process is part of the work itself and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and focused work on skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives.
