About Mary
Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Mary works with clients on everyday stress and more complex concerns like trauma, addiction, and grief.
She builds sessions around each person's story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day.
How Mary works
Mary pays attention to identity and lived experience and aims to offer an affirming space for LGBT clients and others from diverse backgrounds. Her work covers many issues including parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and ADHD. She also helps people facing medical concerns, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care topics, and intimacy-related questions.
Mary is familiar with challenges that come from abandonment, attachment difficulties, and blended family dynamics. Mary uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based strategies to reduce struggle, and emotionally focused methods to address hurt in close relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and aim to build skills that can be used outside the session. Mary practices in Mississippi and offers services in English. International clients can work with her as well.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Mary often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters most so they can make values-based choices. She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression and to teach practical skills for changing those patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to test techniques and decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as new issues arise so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing connection between sessions. These options help make care more flexible so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
