Mary and I have worked together really well, and she has really been invested in my goals. We don't get to meet as often as I would like, but when we do it always goes well.

More about Mary
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Processional Counselor with Mental Service Provider designation in the state of Tennessee. I have been practicing for eight years in a variety of treatment settings. I have experience working with adults and adolescents both in individual and group sessions. I also have experience working with families. Most of my experience has been treating substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
I am a nonjudgmental and empathetic clinician. I always put my client’s needs first and meet them where they are at in life. I understand beginning therapy can be challenging and even scary. I always strive to make therapy a positive experience as well as helping you achieve your goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mary has been incredibly helpful in my journey toward a life of lower anxiety as well as helping me navigate very difficult situations. I really like her approach and am very much stronger now than when I began with her. I highly recommend Mary.
Mary Johnston has been extremely helpful in my journey towards better mental health both for my family but especially my career. When I started with Mary I hated my job and struggled daily. I now have learned to appreciate my job and what it allows for me and my family and that new perspective has made my career start to blossom. I highly recommend.
She is a wonderful therapist and a wonderful person. In the sessions we had she provided a lot of reassurance and relief to my acute panic and anxiety symptoms. I would truly recommend her to anybody :)
Mary made me feel comfortable. She helped me look at things in a different perspective. Very empathic and knowledgeable.
