About Mary

Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or weighed down by depression. Mary listens closely and helps clients find small, practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

Mary uses a flexible, client-driven approach. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to help with mood and emotional regulation. Sessions emphasize learning simple skills that can be used between meetings.

Background and approach

She has 16 years of clinical experience and has worked with people managing chronic stress, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful rather than abstract or overly technical. In sessions she centers the person’s strengths and values.

Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on realistic goals for change. Mary also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, and a wide range of mood and anxiety concerns. Mary offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Mary's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take values-based action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with chronic stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, a useful tool for burnout and ADHD-related overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and daily life. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are encouraged to try practices between meetings and report back on what worked.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for more in-depth discussion and skills work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules.
