01About Mary
Mary Roldan Balboa helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing career concerns and life transitions. Mary works in both English and Spanish and practices from Wisconsin as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
Mary uses a practical, strength-focused style. Sessions center on the person in front of her and their goals. She listens first, then helps clients build small steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Expect a calm, direct conversation with tools to try between sessions. Her work draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. That means paying attention to what you think and feel, spotting unhelpful patterns, and testing new ways of coping.
Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas are used when people want to clarify their values or rewrite a story that holds them back. Mary has about 20 years of experience in varied settings including hospitals, crisis centers, nursing homes, hospice, schools, and independent practice.
She brings that background to help with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, postpartum concerns, and practical family or communication problems. Work with Mary can address issues like panic attacks, impulsivity, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, money worries, and multicultural concerns. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with strategies chosen to match each person's needs and pace.

How Mary’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens attentively and follows the client's lead to build goals and practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice their thoughts and bodily responses in the moment and learn simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work together with each person to try different techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. The aim is to find a mix of strategies that feel useful and realistic to use day to day.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands while keeping the focus on practical progress.
