About Mary
Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Mary writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can understand next steps.
Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people notice what gets in the way and what they can try differently.
Background and approach
Mary uses tools to manage strong feelings, improve sleep, reduce worry, and address addictive habits and attention challenges. Mary brings a respectful, affirming approach to work with LGBT clients and others whose identities shape their experience. She also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or career stress.
Discussions often include boundaries, communication skills, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Her background blends several practical therapies to suit the person in front of her. That means sessions may include exercises to change unhelpful thinking, skills for regulating emotions, or values-based steps to move toward what matters.
Mary keeps explanations clear and gives homework that fits a busy life. People who do best with her tend to want honest guidance and usable strategies. She welcomes international clients and offers a range of online formats for convenience.
To begin, a simple matching questionnaire helps pair someone with her schedule and the right session type.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Mary commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT teaches practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and preferences for skill-building versus deeper emotional work. She tailors methods so the plan matches the client's needs and pace in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone needs more flexible, short contacts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
