She combines clinical practice with a pastoral perspective when that fits a person's goals. Therapy sessions focus on the person’s needs and priorities. She uses client-centered methods and blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines.
EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and a solution-oriented stance are used to help people find next steps and stay motivated. Sessions emphasize collaboration, respect, and practical strategies such as emotion regulation, sleep and habit changes, and communication skills.
People drawn to a holistic mind-body-spirit view may find her perspective helpful. Her work includes support for parenting stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, and other relationship and life-stage challenges. Dr.
Mary aims to empower clients with tools they can use between sessions.
Approach and online options for therapy
Dr. Mary often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR depending on the issues a person brings. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so the person can set the pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause stress or interfere with daily life. EMDR involves guided attention and processing for people working through intense or traumatic memories, and it can be offered when trauma processing is part of the plan.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, track progress, and adjust techniques so the plan fits the person's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers written exchanges over scheduled calls. These options help people keep therapy consistent while matching how they like to communicate.
