About Mary
She draws on 13 years of experience in different settings, including work with teenagers living with HIV, school-based mental health, and military and family life support. Mary earned a Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University in Individual and Family Development and a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University. These roles shaped how she supports people through change and stress.
Sessions combine a few counseling styles to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to build momentum for change. Solution-focused ideas help set small, concrete goals to gain quick relief.
Mary helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, grief, career questions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem. She also offers support around blended family issues, caregiving stress, life purpose, and multicultural concerns.
She emphasizes practical tools and inner strengths so people can make steady progress. If someone is ready to take a next step, Mary encourages them to begin with a short matching process and schedule an initial session.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience without judgment; it helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses concrete exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors the plan as progress is made rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Confirm the session formats before booking because specific online options are not listed here. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions can also make it simpler to use worksheet exercises between meetings and to practice skills in everyday routines.
