01About Mary
Dr. Mary Walker helps people facing eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction, grief, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care history, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and family of origin issues.
Dr. Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of experience. She talks with each person to understand their story and the practical struggles they face.
Background and approach
Her background as a high school art teacher and a mentor in church settings shaped how she listens and responds. She aims to walk alongside people rather than lecture them. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit daily life.
Dr. Walker trained at Houston Graduate School of Theology for her master’s degree and completed a Ph.D. at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Over the years she has worked with many people affected by childhood abuse, dissociation, depression, OCD, trauma, and major life transitions.
That experience informs how she tailors support to each situation. Her sessions draw on person-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. You can expect a calm, practical approach that balances empathy with concrete tools.
The aim is to reduce fear, anger, and frustration so everyday life becomes more manageable. Dr. Walker emphasizes collaboration and measurable progress.
She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and notice small changes that add up. Her style suits people who want steady, experience-based guidance and real-world strategies.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Walker uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s experience and goals. This approach means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and aims to build trust and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addictions by giving clear skills to practice.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as work progresses. That collaboration helps match tools to the real problems a person brings to sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video is hard to arrange or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief updates, or work through short exercises without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
