About Mary
Mary Slaton, LPC, brings two decades of counseling experience to her work. She approaches sessions with clear goals and practical steps. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people make changes that matter to daily life.
Mary helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, and concerns around sleep and career. ADHD is listed among her focus areas, and she supports adults who want strategies to manage attention and daily routines.
Background and approach
She also addresses identity and LGBT concerns, workplace issues, and women’s issues. Her background blends goal-focused methods with attention to how past patterns shape present choices. In sessions she uses strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses Psychodynamic ideas to help uncover repeating patterns that affect relationships and self-view. Mary includes relationship work informed by the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and reduce conflict in partnerships. She listens for patterns across social, spiritual, love, self, and work areas so clients can see what is helping them and what needs to change.
Practical tools are part of her approach. Clients can expect concrete steps, homework when helpful, and ongoing review of progress. Mary aims to guide and encourage people as they set and reach meaningful goals.
Practical approaches for online counseling and relationship work
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on small experiments and real-life practice to change how people feel and act.She also uses the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict in partnerships. This approach teaches specific skills for listening, reducing criticism, and rebuilding trust so conversations feel more productive.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Mary will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans as progress is reviewed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and keep regular momentum toward goals.
