Mary Herro is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She approaches each person with respect and compassion.
Mary uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She tailors sessions to each person's needs and works at a pace that feels manageable. That means practical steps for coping, clearer thinking about choices, and checking what is or isn’t working.
Background and approach
Over three decades she has supported people through family conflict, parenting struggles, and big life changes. She also addresses concerns such as eating issues, anger, self-esteem, and challenges related to LGBTQ life. Her background includes helping with attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics.
She brings experience with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, substance use, and bipolar disorder, and she helps people find ways to handle dissociation, control issues, and emptiness. Conversations focus on daily strategies and finding small, realistic goals that add up over time. Mary emphasizes a collaborative relationship.
She listens, offers options, and helps people try approaches that fit their situation. The aim is to support practical change, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience so life feels more manageable.

Practical Approaches for Online Care
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use right away. One approach emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach focuses on processing grief and loss through guided conversation and pacing, helping people make sense of feelings while building routines that support healing.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, adjusting the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where you decide which strategies to keep and which to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a full session similar to an in-person meeting. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
