01About Mary
Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people through difficult times. She practices in Mississippi and offers a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful. She listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life steps, like managing anxiety, improving sleep, or coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses grief, addiction concerns, and stress from work or caregiving. Mary pays attention to identity and life context and aims to create an affirming space for LGBT clients and people from diverse backgrounds. She uses a person-centered stance that puts the client's goals at the center of each session.
That means she follows what the person wants to work on while offering guidance and options. Her methods include techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotion-focused work. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and try small changes between sessions.
For clients dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, or attachment issues, she addresses feelings and relationship patterns that come up in daily life. Mary is also comfortable supporting people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. She helps clients sort priorities, set realistic goals, and find ways to cope that fit their lives.
If someone is ready to start, she walks through the first steps and supports steady progress.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Mary uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address common patterns that cause suffering. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice what matters most, accept difficult feelings, and take actions that match their values when facing life changes or ongoing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will explore your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they tackle immediate problems while building long-term coping skills.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text make shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical for everyday life.
