About Mary
Mary Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Mary aims to support people who want practical help and clearer direction.
She treats concerns such as abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. Mary also works with people coping with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, immigration-related stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
How Mary works
She pays attention to how multicultural background and life purpose affect day-to-day struggles. Mary believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions are collaborative and built around each person’s strengths and goals.
She focuses on helping people identify small, manageable steps that add up over time. Her experience includes supporting people facing guilt, shame, and issues tied to dependent or antisocial personality patterns. She helps clients talk through relationship patterns, set boundaries, and handle the emotional fallout of past harm.
The approach is practical and person-centered rather than focused on labels. Mary aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can explore change at their own pace. She encourages courage and steady progress, and supports clients as they try new ways of thinking and behaving.
Therapy is grounded in clear aims and gradual steps toward a more satisfying life.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear steps and measurable progress. One approach focuses on addressing trauma-related symptoms by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact; this approach aims to lessen the intensity of troubling memories and improve coping. Another approach centers on treating anxiety and depression through practical skill-building, such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to rebuild confidence and motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with regular check-ins about progress and goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
