01About Mary
Mary Beth Barbush-Kirila is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel achievable for someone who is nervous about reaching out.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared toward practical skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Clients can expect straightforward discussion about feelings, patterns, and day-to-day coping strategies. Her background includes long-term work addressing trauma, mood concerns, and the everyday struggles that come with chronic illness, caregiving, divorce, and family-of-origin pain.
That experience shapes a calm approach to difficult topics like abandonment, domestic violence, and medical-related stress. Mary Beth helps people notice unhelpful patterns and build healthier habits. She pays attention to communication problems, codependency, control issues, and concerns about body image or aging.
Her work also covers caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and the emotional impact of cancer. Throughout therapy she emphasizes collaboration. Clients and the therapist set goals together, try practical techniques, and track progress over time.
People who are ready to begin can expect a patient, steady guide through their concerns.

Evidence-based approaches and online access
Mary Beth works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress through breathing, thought work, and gradual behavior changes to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable while building safety and grounding skills for emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Progress is tracked collaboratively so adjustments can be made when needed and the plan stays focused on what matters to you.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or require less bandwidth, and messaging gives a way to check in between appointments or use brief updates. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into a busy life.
