Background and approach

Mary draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based skills to increase tolerance for difficult feelings. Emotion-focused ideas help when connection and intimacy are central concerns.

Her practice includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addictions, sleep problems, and workplace stress. She also helps people dealing with ADHD, bipolar challenges, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and identity questions related to LGBT experiences. Mary emphasizes respect and cultural responsiveness.

She aims to create an affirming space where people from different backgrounds can be understood. Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. To begin, she asks people to describe what they want to change.

From there she and the client choose tools and steps that feel doable. The focus is on steady, practical work that fits into everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches tailored for online sessions

Mary commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and helps people commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical exercises to change behavior and mood.

The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, personal preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit brief check-ins or processing between sessions, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
