About Mary
Mary Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers calm, practical support for depression, grief, relationship strains, trauma, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her approach is warm and conversational and focused on real-life steps clients can try between sessions.
Mary draws on techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused care. She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and helps people test small changes that can reduce distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. Her background includes social work practice in school and community settings, work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and clinical roles on a reservation and in multiple states. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Aurora University and is licensed in Illinois and Montana as an LCSW.
Currently she lives and practices in Indiana. Mary often supports parents and young adults working through life transitions, sleep and eating concerns, postpartum depression, and first responder issues. She also helps people coping with self-harm history, gender dysphoria questions, hospice and end-of-life matters, and seasonal mood shifts.
Her sessions emphasize small, achievable steps toward balance. Clients meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts exercises so they work in shorter sessions or over messaging when that better suits a person’s routine.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer session time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, parenting, or caregiving commitments.
