More about Mary

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 15 years of experience working as a Behavioral Health Specialist. I have experience working with children and adults with emotional and behavior problems. I have worked with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as psychiatric and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety.

My counseling style is nonjudgmental, compassionate, interactive, and inviting. I believe in treating each client with dignity and respect. My approach combines Person-Centered Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy focusing on thoughts and behaviors, and the importance of being your true self in order to live your most fulfilling life. I will tailor each session and treatment plan to meet specific goals and needs.

For most people, seeking counseling is a giant step and it takes a lot of courage. If you are ready to work on having a more meaningful life, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with 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.

Reviewed February 2023

I have worked with Mary for over a year and I can say without any reservation, that I have grown and gotten to know myself, thanks to her. Her kindness, compassion, and patience were key to my growth. I always felt comfortable crying during a session and felt heard. She helped me problem-solve and provided resources that I could use immediately. As a patient, I always felt in control and as though my opinion and decisions mattered. I was in charge of my own therapy and she was my guide. That is truly what therapy is about: learning and developing the skills to manage stress and challenging situations. I am a classroom teacher and the years of the pandemic have been hard. When I was at my lowest and didn't want to exist anymore, Mary was at my side. She reminded me what was reality and what was my fear/anxiety. That helped me slowly unravel myself. She truly is a master of her specialties. Lastly, you never feel judged but rather wrapped in a blanket of kindness and understanding. Thank you for helping me heal.
