More about Mary
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of clinical experience. I have worked with individuals with a wide array of struggles, helping them to manage anxiety, depression, anger, conflict in relationships, past trauma, diminished self-esteem and adjustment related concerns. Emotional pain can sometimes feel worse than any physical pain. I help support clients through the situation that is impeding their ability to function as their best selves.
As a strength-based therapist, my approach is to use solution-focused techniques in guiding you to realize the tools and skills you possess to overcome the issues you are facing. My goal for the clients I encounter is to offer hope and healing along their journey to discovering a life of fulfillment and peace. My approach with clients is warm, open, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, regard, sensitivity, and empathy. I believe in working with clients collaboratively to discover the underlying causes of emotional, psychological, and relationship problems.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Seeing as this is my first time with therapy I was very hesitant, but Mary has helped my overcome just that. She’s been great helping me navigate my thoughts and feelings.
I really feel like she listens and validates me in my journey.
I enjoy speaking to Mary, she is very warm and feels genuine! I like her vibe it seems to mesh with mine.
Mary is honestly amazing! She is so insightful and a very positive influence in my life. After every session, I feel like I’ve made progress and come away with thoughtful advice to consider for the week. She is very knowledgeable and understanding. I especially appreciate how patient and empathetic she is when I’m struggling. This is exactly what I hoped therapy would be like and more :)
Mary has been kind, empathetic, understanding and listens to what I’d like to focus on. She asks provoking questions to help me figure out some of my own patterns and highlights my strengths. She is someone I feel comfortable sharing my darkest emotions or challenges with. She helps to encourage my goals of empowerment and healing. I value the time I have had with her and look forward to future breakthroughs. Thank you Mary!!!
