How Mary works
She helps people build coping skills, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions emphasize everyday strategies that clients can try between meetings. Many people seek her help for grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, chronic illness or pain, and addiction recovery.
She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. The focus is on practical change rather than labels. Her work draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance.
Mary explains options plainly and tailors techniques to what each person needs and prefers. Over three decades in practice have shaped a calm, collaborative way of working. Mary aims to empower people to find meaning, repair connections where possible, and develop the skills to manage life’s ups and downs.
She encourages small, manageable steps toward a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills that support emotion regulation and stress reduction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She combines elements from different approaches when that makes sense and explains options in plain language so clients can choose what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations while keeping treatment consistent and accessible.
