About Mary
Mary Kivett is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings six years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, and career or life transitions. Mary focuses on boosting self-esteem and supporting people through grief, parenting challenges, and workplace strain.
She worked with adolescents, adults, and within public education, which shaped her practical understanding of everyday pressures. That background informs how she frames goals and supports clients in steady, realistic steps.
How Mary works
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at finding what works for each person. Mary uses clear, goal-focused methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. She blends mindfulness tools for calmer thinking and practical strategies to change unhelpful habits.
Conversations tend to center on what a person wants to change and small actions to get there. Her approach is upbeat and encouraging without pressure. Mary emphasizes strengths and builds on small successes so people feel progress sooner.
She pays attention to patterns like attachment, codependency, communication problems, and impulsivity so those issues can be addressed directly. People reach out to talk about relationships, parenting, midlife or young adult transitions, money and career questions, or struggles with guilt and shame. Mary works with issues affecting LGBT people and supports clients facing compassion fatigue and fatherhood concerns.
The work is framed around realistic goals and steady steps forward.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Mary blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions to address practical problems and emotional concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage impulsivity, or build healthier routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters to the person, offering a supportive space to clarify goals and boost self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness exercises for stress, short solution-focused plans for a specific problem, or a mix of strategies over time.
Online therapy offers useful flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
