More about Mary

10 years' experience
Female
LCSW

It is possible for you to identify and achieve your goals. Sometimes it just takes someone to come alongside you to help you make different choices.

During my 10 years as a clinical therapist I have been privileged to assist many clients to improve and heal through a combination of faith based processes and my credentials as a California State University-Fresno Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters of Social Work. It has been my experience that Christian foundational-based counseling, delivered within current psychological guidelines and cultural conventions, result in the most enduring outcomes. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, and others, depending upon the client's needs. I have had much success with (1) couples and individuals with relationship issues and keeping marriages together; (2) children, regarding self-esteem improvement and separation anxiety; and (3)serving many clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress, and general stress

issues.

I am willing to work with all kinds of clients no matter what the issue. I offer a safe environment, where there is freedom to explore, heal, and transform. It is my hope that you will remember your true destiny and choose life.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
