About Mary
Mary Kivett is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She greets each person with energy and encouragement, and she focuses on helping people increase self-esteem and manage stress. Mary aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental presence as someone works through hard moments.
She draws on practical, client-centered methods to help people handle anxiety, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps that someone can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Mary pays attention to strengths and builds on what already works in daily life. Her style is collaborative and upbeat. She listens first, then tailors tools to fit an individual’s needs.
People who prefer an encouraging coach-like partner often find this style helpful. Mary’s approach mixes talk-based tools and skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets concrete changes and small wins to move forward. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve attention. Sessions are offered in English and reach people across Florida.
The therapist uses several formats to match different schedules and comfort levels. Her plans are individualized so each person has a clear path and practical steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Mary often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice new responses to reduce anxiety and impulsivity. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and identifies what is already working so clients can build momentum toward their goals.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your priorities and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you’ll check what helps and adjust the plan as goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or not being on camera matters. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or tracking progress between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving forward even when life gets hectic.
