About Mary
Mary Mauck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to first responders and veterans.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters to the client and to help people find their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way of daily life. Mindfulness practices are used to help with grounding and managing strong feelings in the moment.
Sessions are conversational and oriented around practical steps. She listens for what is working and what is not, then helps set goals people can try between sessions. Clients will find clear feedback and options rather than vague directions.
Mary draws on a range of methods, including Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy, when those ideas fit a client's needs. That flexibility helps when problems are layered, such as grief mixed with workplace stress or parenting strain combined with anxiety.
Work tends to focus on problem-solving and skill building so people can manage daily life better. She suggests realistic exercises and checks progress regularly. If a different approach seems likely to help, she discusses that choice with the client and adjusts the plan.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you can use in online sessions
Mary commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses conversations on the client's concerns and preferences, helping people clarify what matters most and choose practical next steps. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and coping, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and problem patterns that repeat. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions in daily life.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Mary will review goals, discuss what has helped or not helped before, and recommend methods that match the client's needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan if an approach does not seem to fit or if priorities change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy household schedule, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT homework or mindfulness practices to remote sessions so skills are practiced between meetings.
