Background and approach
Mary uses a blend of approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and try practical alternatives. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in respect and collaboration, letting the person set the pace and goals.
She also draws on EMDR for people who have been through trauma, and psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring relationship patterns and control issues. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce rumination and build present-moment focus. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs.
Mary focuses on clear goals like improving communication, easing guilt and shame, finding life purpose, and managing mood disorders. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, doable process rather than an overwhelming one.
Online approaches that fit your schedule and goals
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies goals, and offers supportive feedback to help build confidence and direction. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include short exercises and at-home practice to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day functioning. EMDR, used selectively for trauma, involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls provide face-to-face contact for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing notes and short updates. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and daily life.
