Dr. Mary Moran is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Washington with 20 years of experience. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri, a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia, and a Ph.D. from the University of Utah.
Her career has focused mainly on mental health and substance use treatment, and she has served as a clinical supervisor for social workers and mental health counselors for more than 12 years. She has also recently pursued additional study in trauma-informed therapy approaches.
Her clinical work draws on a blend of methods, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, reality therapy, structural family therapy, spiritually-centered approaches, and solution-focused interventions. Her foundational training is informed by family systems and feminist theory in psychotherapy.
Her practice is collaborative - she partners with each person to set clear goals and work toward them. She takes a person-in-the-environment perspective, attending both to internal thoughts and feelings and to how a person’s surroundings affect their health and well-being.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that best suits them, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules.
Licensed professionals provide online services, and if someone feels they need a different match, they can switch therapists. Online therapy can offer an accessible option for addressing everyday mental health needs while preserving the core elements of therapeutic work.
