About Mary
Mary Pirant is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. She works in a direct, supportive way and focuses on getting practical steps started. Mary encourages people to name their reasons for change and to take the first small actions toward them.
She centers sessions on openness and nonjudgment so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are grounded and goal-oriented - Mary helps identify what matters most and breaks larger goals into manageable tasks.
Background and approach
She expects effort and follows clients as they try new strategies between sessions. Over 15 years of practice, Mary has worked with people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with obsessive thoughts, first responder issues, infidelity, and personality-related patterns.
Her experience spans many kinds of life transitions and emotional struggles. Mary offers a mix of coaching and clinical support, helping clients build routines, reduce harmful habits, and strengthen self-esteem. She explains options plainly and helps pick approaches that fit each person’s needs.
Progress is measured in concrete changes, not abstract promises. Sessions are available to people in Florida and to international clients who prefer remote care. Mary uses a collaborative style that expects honesty and effort, and she helps clients plan realistic next steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
Evidence-based approaches for remote care
Mary uses straightforward, evidence-informed techniques to help people change unhelpful habits and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that drive behavior and then practicing small, doable changes to interrupt those patterns; this helps with addictions, impulsive behaviors, and ADHD-related challenges. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety, depression, and grief by teaching attention strategies, mood-monitoring, and activity planning to improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Mary works with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust tools based on what’s actually working. She encourages honest feedback and adapts plans so strategies fit the client’s routine and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when screen time fits their schedule. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing, brief support between sessions and can help keep momentum during busy weeks.
