About Mary
Mary "Jackie" Downie welcomes people who are ready to make a change. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. Jackie speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can start where they are.
She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Jackie begins by finding what has worked for each person before. She asks about strengths people may have overlooked and looks for small shifts that make life easier.
How Mary works
Sessions focus on practical thinking and behavior changes that can be tried between meetings. Jackie will also examine past experiences that may still influence current choices. Her work includes support for grief, attention challenges, addiction, mood concerns, and relationship or family problems.
She has experience with trauma from different stages of life and with people dealing with workplace stress. Jackie tailors her approach to the problem at hand instead of using the same plan for everyone. Jackie uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused approaches to match each person’s needs.
Treatment plans are collaborative and change as people progress. She encourages practical skills and honest conversations. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to a schedule that fits.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person’s strengths. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions based on their values and experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past traumatic events in ways that reduce their hold on daily life and improve coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges arise, and choices are based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video appointments allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or when shorter, written exchanges are preferred. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
