About
Mary Pulscher is an LMHC based in Iowa with 30 years of clinical experience addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, depression, addictions, family dynamics, anger, career-related challenges, and coping with life changes. She also attends to issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and the emotional needs tied to aging and caregiving.
Her work integrates several therapeutic traditions, including client-centered, psychodynamic, Jungian, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches. That eclectic foundation supports work on attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence or natural disaster. Mary also brings attention to body image, chronic illness and pain, and first responder related stress.
Mary aims to help individuals explore patterns, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies for daily life. She places emphasis on collaboration and tailoring interventions to the person in front of her. The practice serves adults and older adults in Iowa while also accepting international clients for remote sessions.

Remote care options and therapeutic approaches
Mary offers teletherapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to work together across distances. These formats are available for people in Iowa and for international clients who wish to engage remotely.
Her client-centered approach prioritizes the individual’s perspective, listening for personal values and goals and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult; it helps clarify motivation, explore ambivalence, and support movement toward chosen goals without pressure.
When trauma and related symptoms are a focus, trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to attend to past events and their current impact while respecting pacing and readiness. Together these approaches can suit people who want both exploratory work and practical goal-setting, and they can be applied through video, phone, chat, or messaging depending on preference.
