About Mary

People who contact her typically want concrete tools and conversational help to manage distress and make changes. She asks about the person’s goals and works step by step to build skills and clearer thinking that fit daily life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It supports people in naming goals, choosing what to work on, and deciding how change should look. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.Mary also works with EMDR-related techniques for trauma, which involve structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. These techniques are used when people are ready and when trauma is a clear focus of the work. She combines these approaches based on each person’s needs and desired outcomes.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Mary will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and preferences. Sessions begin with a conversation about what the person wants to achieve and then adjust as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it may allow shorter check-ins during a work break or avoid travel time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if camera time is difficult or lower-bandwidth options when internet connections are limited.
