About Mary

Mary Ellen aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life. Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and helps people break out of stuck patterns. Together they identify small, doable steps toward change. Mary Ellen blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and solution-focused methods to highlight strengths and quick wins. This mix helps with mood, coping during life changes, and improving everyday functioning. Her background includes work in maternal and child health, early intervention, and hospice.
Those roles shaped her calm, steady style and her comfort talking about parenting, loss, and big life transitions. She draws on that experience when helping people manage grief, postpartum concerns, or cancer-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.
How her approaches translate to online care
Mary Ellen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT sessions typically include simple exercises and practice tasks to use between meetings, which work well in video or phone sessions.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and stress. Mindfulness exercises can be guided during a live call or reinforced with short text reminders and practice suggestions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor techniques from CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused work. This helps form a plan that fits the client's needs and schedule.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or when parenting young children.
