Background and approach
Mary has worked in hospitals, crisis centers, nursing homes, hospice care, schools, and independent practice. That range has shaped how she responds to stress, grief, and caregiver strain. Across settings she has focused on helping people find realistic steps forward.
She uses several well-known approaches in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to calm the body and steady attention.
Client-Centered and Narrative methods create space to tell your story and decide what parts to keep or change. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Mary holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and maintains licensure in Texas and Wisconsin.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower immediate tension and help with panic symptoms.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create space for your concerns and Narrative Therapy to help you reframe life stories that feel stuck. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to choose methods that match your goals, values, and day-to-day needs rather than prescribing one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick strategies, or when a short exchange fits better into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or travel.
