Background and approach

Much of her career involved child welfare and juvenile systems, and she has experience supporting people affected by abuse and neglect. Mary Jo uses a trauma-informed lens and looks at the whole person rather than only symptoms. Her style is client-driven and adaptable, combining approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness depending on needs.

She works with people on issues like parenting, sleep problems, addiction, grief, and coping with big life changes. She has helped people who feel stuck begin gently, sometimes starting with messaging and moving to phone or video as comfort grows. Her experience includes supporting military veterans and navigating systems such as VA disability processes when helpful.

Mary Jo describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set goals and adjusts plans as life shifts. The aim is to build skills that make daily life more manageable and improve overall quality of life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Mary Jo often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people understand unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills. Client-centered work focuses on listening and meeting you where you are, while CBT gives concrete exercises for stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how past relationships shape current reactions, which can be useful for intimacy, parenting, and relationship strain. These approaches are described and tried collaboratively so the therapist and client choose what fits goals and comfort level.

Online sessions make it easier to access care from different places and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a simpler step when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat offers shorter check-ins or a gentle way to begin. All formats are used to create a flexible plan so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
