Background and approach
Mary pays attention to different parts of life - social, spiritual, love, self, and work - to see patterns that affect well-being. Her approach blends methods that target current problems and ones that look at deeper patterns. In sessions she helps people notice how their habits developed and tests new ways of responding.
The emphasis is on what changes feel possible and realistic for each person. Mary also supports people working through grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, body image concerns, and career questions. She addresses issues affecting women, veterans, young adults, and LGBTQ clients among other focus areas listed in her practice.
She aims to help clients build self-awareness and steady progress toward the life they want. Conversations are collaborative and geared toward measurable steps. Mary helps people map out small experiments, track what works, and adjust plans as they go.
The goal is to move from feeling stuck to making steady, achievable change.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, mood struggles, sleep problems, and habits related to addiction.She also integrates the Gottman Method for work on relationships, using structured conversations and skill-building to improve communication and reduce conflict. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at longer-term patterns and how past experiences shape current responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. The aim is to pick tools that fit the person rather than force a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
