I’ve only had one video session with Mary so far but she listened to me the whole time and everything I said. Was very kind and friendly the entire time and offered some helpful information/tools for me to deal with the situation. Her way made me feel very comfortable to open up and talk about everything that’s going on. Thank you, Mary.

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!

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.

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.
