Mary Roldan Balboa, LPC, offers counseling that centers on helping people move toward greater well-being, meaning, and day-to-day fulfillment. She approaches therapy through the lens of positive psychology, with an emphasis on identifying strengths, building supportive habits, and nurturing the parts of life that already contribute to a sense of purpose and resilience.
With experience across a range of care settings, including hospitals, crisis centers, nursing homes, hospice, school settings, and private practice, she brings a broad perspective to the work. Her style is collaborative and encouraging, designed to help clients feel comfortable sharing openly while working toward practical, value-driven change.
In sessions, Mary partners with clients to clarify what matters most to them and to set meaningful goals that fit their lives. Together, they may explore ways to cultivate helpful emotional skills such as gratitude, optimism, and resilience, while also developing concrete tools that can be used outside of therapy. She views counseling as an active partnership where client feedback, preferences, and priorities shape the process. Mary is also currently a doctoral student at Capella University, working toward a doctorate in psychology with a specialization in developmental psychology.
Mary Roldan Balboa, LPC, draws from approaches that help clients connect with strengths, build practical coping skills, and create change that feels meaningful in daily life. In Client-Centered Therapy, the focus is on creating a supportive space where the client’s goals, values, and lived experience guide the work, which can be especially helpful when navigating stress, self-esteem concerns, grief, or life transitions.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can be useful for challenges like anxiety, panic, depression, and ADHD-related patterns by helping clients practice new ways of responding to difficult situations. Mindfulness Therapy may be incorporated to build present-moment awareness and steadier attention, which can support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary collaborates with clients to choose tools that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus over time.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get support around a busy schedule, maintain continuity during travel or life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
