Background and approach
Her practice draws on a mix of therapeutic styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness work focuses on noticing sensations and emotions without judgment.
Mary also uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead. Over 45 years of clinical work have shaped her approach. That experience includes helping people with trauma, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, cancer-related concerns, and issues faced by veterans and first responders.
She pays attention to how these problems intersect in a person’s daily life. Mary values education alongside therapy. She explains how symptoms like anxiety or trauma responses affect the body and behavior.
That information is offered so people can better understand what’s happening and make informed decisions about change. Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving or longer-term growth. Mary aims to help people build practical skills, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, and find clearer footing after major life disruptions.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. The therapist creates space for people to set their own goals and lead the topics they want to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and self-regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will review what has worked before and adjust methods over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
