About
Mary Widseth is a licensed therapist based in Minnesota who focuses her work primarily on adults. She holds a master’s degree in Community Psychology and Rehabilitation Counseling from Saint Cloud State University and a certificate in Autism, and she earned a bachelor’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of Wisconsin - Stout.
Mary is licensed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and certified as a CRC (Certified Rehabilitation Counselor). Her early work drew on her bachelor’s training and involved supporting marginalized adults with cognitive, mental, physical, or communication challenges in employment settings - facilitating group and individual placements, providing transportation, and offering on-the-job training to help people perform their work effectively.
Following her graduate studies, Mary completed two years of in-home therapy for children ages 7 to 18 and their families, and then spent an additional two years providing office-based mental health therapy to both adults and children. In her clinical work she has supported adults from a variety of backgrounds, including transgender and bisexual individuals, people dealing with addictions, and those pursuing surgical alterations to improve physical appearance and mental health. She commonly addresses behavior and emotional regulation, communication, and social and family relationships across age groups.
Mary brings practical communication strategies to her work, using picture books, rebus boards, and sign language when language differences are a factor, and she has experience working with conversational Spanish. A diagnosis of cerebral palsy from childhood informs her perspective and helps her relate to clients who face challenges in environments where one side is not as strong as the other, encouraging creative problem solving and advocacy.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility - you can meet with a therapist in the format that suits you best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging.
