About Mary
Her work often starts by identifying repeating patterns and the beliefs that keep those patterns going. From there she helps people try different ways of responding, using focused strategies and mindful noticing to see what shifts. The aim is to align work, relationships, and daily routines with what matters most to the person.
Mary draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals in focus, and on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns. She also uses narrative techniques to reframe stories people tell about themselves and motivational interviewing to support change when motivation is unclear.
Over twenty years of practice have included attention to caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, coping with cancer, first responder issues, and life transitions such as midlife questions. She also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, isolation, and communication problems.
Mary holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Florida. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling more confident and connected in their everyday lives.

How Mary’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals at the center of each session, encouraging active listening and collaborative planning to address stress, career questions, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness therapy adds simple awareness exercises to notice stress reactions and make calmer choices in daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building clear, doable steps forward.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can shift over time as priorities and challenges change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, and avoid travel time. Many people find it simpler to try strategies between sessions in their everyday context, which can speed practical progress toward clearer work and relationship choices.
