Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might help. Mary uses common-sense strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to name unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. She also draws on client-centered listening to follow each person’s priorities.
Mindfulness practices are offered for calmer moments and clearer choices. Her background includes work with issues related to aging, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. She has experience addressing mood and panic symptoms, problems with impulsivity, and substance-related struggles.
Mary aims to match practical tools to the real constraints people face. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She emphasizes collaboration and straightforward feedback instead of jargon.
If someone wants a therapist who uses clear language and workable strategies, Mary offers that kind of support.
Working with CBT, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Online
Mary uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and panic symptoms. She also relies on client-centered therapy, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel respected and heard while deciding next steps.Mindfulness practices are offered to build calmer moments and better focus. These are short exercises you can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and gather information about what helps. Mary will work together with each person to choose which approaches fit best for their goals and life situation.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy adaptable. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can help people stay connected between appointments or fit therapy into busy days.
