Background and approach

She also weaves in mindfulness practices to reduce worry and strengthen focus. Her work is client-centered, so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and values. She integrates faith when a client wants that perspective, combining Christian principles with evidence-based techniques.

Mary Beth aims to support the whole person by addressing emotional and physical reactions together, and she respects each client’s beliefs and goals. Sessions begin with a straightforward conversation about what the client wants to change and why. Clients can expect a collaborative plan with concrete steps to practice between sessions.

Mary Beth pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and helps people try small, manageable experiments to test new ways of coping. She also offers coaching-style guidance for career, parenting, and life transitions. Therapy is offered remotely to adults in South Carolina.

The first meeting is an opportunity to share your story, set priorities, and agree on the next steps for care.

Using focused approaches in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises like behavioral activation and cognitive restructuring, which often helps with depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the sessions on the client's experience and pace, giving space for people to feel heard and guiding decisions based on their values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary Beth will discuss each method and help the client decide what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and may blend techniques so the plan fits personal needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people maintain face-to-face contact while joining from home or work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing coaching between sessions, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
