More about Mary

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMHC

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and life's transitions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I believe in collaborating with the client to identify root causes and cycles that can be problematic to the client or the family.

My counseling style is warm, accepting & interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I fully believe that therapy can be a step a significant step toward repair and healing. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Person Centered and Ecosystem Structured Family Therapy. Every session will be customized to meet your unique and specific needs.

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.

I look forward to working with you!

Mary Walston, LCMHC

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
