01About Mary
Dr. Mary Jane Preece is a licensed counselor who draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She practices in Ohio and uses practical, person-focused methods to help people find clearer ways forward.
She listens first and adapts her work to each person's needs. Sessions aim to spot patterns that keep problems going and to build skills for everyday situations.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term problem solving for a specific issue or longer work on relationships and identity. Her background includes helping people cope with grief, career strain, caregiver stress, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD-related struggles, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Many clients seek help for family-of-origin issues, communication problems, or the emotional work around fertility and serious illness. Dr. Preece uses approaches that emphasize the client's experience and practical change.
She brings together client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Dialectical skills and existential ideas inform work around purpose, loss, and meaning. People who come for therapy can expect a collaborative process focused on manageable steps.
Dr. Preece aims to help clients build coping tools, improve relationships, and regain a clearer sense of direction.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort feelings and gain clarity about values and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the person feel and function better.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or a way to reflect without scheduling a full appointment. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical skill building and personal growth.
