About Mary
Mary Pirant helps people who are struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career questions, and challenges with self-esteem or anger. Mary is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - based in Florida and brings 15 years of experience to her work.
Mary keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She focuses on identifying what the person wants to change and then works out clear steps to get there.
How Mary works
Conversations are held in a nonjudgmental way so people can talk about hard feelings and difficult choices without fear. She asks clients about their goals early on and helps them pin down a personal reason to do the work. From that starting point Mary and the client shape a plan that fits day-to-day life.
Progress is tracked in small, doable steps rather than vague promises of rapid change. Mary also addresses specific concerns such as OCD symptoms, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and infidelity. She includes coaching elements when helpful to support practical life changes and coping skills for transitions.
Her style is direct but empathetic. She expects honest effort from the people she sees and provides steady support through setbacks. The overall aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more effective choices in daily life.

Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and real-world skills. One approach centers on behavior change and skill practice to manage anxiety, addictions, OCD symptoms, and mood shifts; it involves setting small experiments and tracking how new habits affect daily life. Another focuses on processing trauma and grief through gradual, supportive conversations that help reduce intense reactions and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needs change. She partners with clients to pick techniques that feel workable and meaningful for their situation.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for a focused check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and differing day-to-day needs.
