Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, mood and anxiety disorders, and challenges related to self esteem, intimacy, and parenting.

Mary draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered approaches and integrates ideas influenced by Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, and Murray Bowen.
Mary aims to move beyond stigmatic labels and to empower people toward wellness through collaboration and tailored interventions. She works with adult individuals to explore values, patterns, and practical steps forward, and supports recovery and meaning-making across a range of life challenges.
Remote therapy using collaborative, evidence-informed approaches
Mary offers online sessions that bring together cognitive-behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a client-centered stance. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to address distressing symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites exploration of personal values and gentle acceptance of difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action. A client-centered orientation prioritizes empathy, shared decision making, and adapting interventions to each person’s needs.
These approaches are used in collaboration with the person seeking help, with an emphasis on co-creating strategies, practicing new skills between sessions, and refining steps that fit daily life. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. The online format is used to deliver the same integrative methods as in-person work, with attention to clear goals and pragmatic tools that clients can apply outside of sessions.What experience does Mary Skinner have as a therapist?
