How Mary works
Her work blends several approaches so sessions match a client's needs rather than a fixed method. She focuses on building understanding and practical skills in the early sessions. Dr.
Fields often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and develop small, testable changes. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to address meaning, identity, and deeper life questions. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when they help clients notice patterns and stay motivated for change.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Dr. Fields aims to make therapy a partnership where goals are clear and steps are concrete.
She pays attention to past experiences while aiming for realistic, manageable steps forward. Outside work she enjoys time outdoors, watching thrillers, and family life with her husband, three children, and a cat that likes fetch. That mix of practical interests and warm curiosity shapes how she works with people.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Fields often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for stress, depression, and sleep or eating problems.She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people face big life questions about meaning, purpose, and identity. This approach is helpful when someone is coping with life transitions, grief, or questions about values. Jungian Therapy appears in her work as well, offering ways to reflect on personal narratives and symbolic themes that affect how people see themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will check in and adjust the plan so it feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling more flexible. Video calls let people keep visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing, short exchanges between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
