Background and approach

Much of her experience involves supporting people with depressive and anxiety symptoms and those processing past trauma. In addition to talk therapy, Mary brings skills from health coaching to help people set and reach concrete wellbeing goals. Coaching can help with daily routines, following through on treatment plans, and building small habits that add up over time.

She uses coaching to support motivation and practical problem solving. Mary uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She often draws from client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

The emphasis is always on choosing methods that fit the individual and their situation. Mary works with a wide range of concerns including relationship matters, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, chronic illness, caregiver strain, attention-related difficulties, and questions about life purpose. She practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

Approaches for online therapy and practical care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building goals together, which helps when someone needs a supportive space to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on what is working and what needs adjustment, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, real-time problem solving, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules while keeping the focus on real, doable steps toward change.
