Online options and therapeutic approach
Mary offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to meet clients where they are. In online work she focuses on creating collaborative goals, outlining clear steps, and checking in on progress so each person knows what to expect from the process.
She commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought and behavior patterns and build concrete coping skills. Narrative Therapy is also part of her toolkit, inviting clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative perspectives. For those with trauma histories, Trauma-Focused methods are integrated with sensitivity to pacing and to the client’s readiness.
These approaches are applied with a collaborative stance: Mary partners with clients to choose which strategies fit their priorities and life circumstances, adapting pacing and techniques to the communication format the client prefers.
