About
Mary Slaton, LPC, NCC, brings two decades of clinical practice to people working through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, and related life challenges. Based in Texas, she completed her counseling degree at Loyola in 2001 and added a meditation certification from the Chopra Institute in 2021. Her stated specialties include a broad range of topics such as parenting, career questions, bipolar and ADHD, grief, and issues related to LGBT and veteran communities.
Her work combines structured, skills-based strategies with deeper exploration of personal history and relationship patterns. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and psychodynamic therapy to help uncover recurring themes across areas of life like social connection, spirituality, love, self, and work. This blend allows for attention to both present-day problem solving and the underlying patterns that can sustain difficulties.
Mary frames counseling as a collaborative process that supports people in clarifying goals and experimenting with new ways of responding. She encourages those who are seeking change to engage in conversations that identify what is working and where to strengthen healthy patterns, with the aim of moving toward the more satisfying life they envision.

Remote care options and therapeutic approach

These options allow the work to fit into varied schedules and ways of connecting while maintaining a collaborative structure. Prospective participants complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and to develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, sleep, and substance-related concerns. Psychodynamic therapy provides time to explore longer-standing patterns, early influences, and how past experiences shape present relationships and self-concept. Together these approaches can address both immediate symptoms and the deeper themes behind them.
The Gottman Method is applied when relational work is a focus, offering concrete tools for communication, conflict conversation, and rebuilding trust in partnerships. Mary frames remote sessions as a collaborative endeavor in which she and the person receiving care set goals, try interventions, and adjust the plan as needed using the available communication formats.
