I’ve been wanting to write this review for awhile now because Mary has been so helpful and I thought maybe this could be a small way of showing appreciation, but I never knew what to write and then I realized this doesn’t need to be complicated. Mary is definitely a great counselor, very professional, but I especially like that she’s not cold, she doesn’t just sit there while you chatter; she’s human and kind and patient and very resourceful. She’s helped me accomplish so many things and make significant progress. I can honestly say I would have had more downs than ups if weren’t for her.

I feel heard, seen, and accepted where I am at with Mary. She has helped me feel more confident but also taught me to have love and grace for myself as she had for me.

More about Mary

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Mary Slaton, LPC, NCC. I earned my counseling degree from Loyola in 2001, and my certification in meditation from Chopra Institute in 2021. When everything is aligned in our lives, we feel happy and fulfilled, but we all encounter obstacles. At times, we need encouragement and guidance to find our way back. Seeking counseling shows a belief in your ability to bring about positive change in your life.

I am here to assist you and encourage you as you explore alternatives that lead to the satisfying life you envision. I believe that we are goal-oriented, but we are sometimes unaware of how we're trying to gain that feeling of significance and satisfaction. Along the path to achieving your goals, it helps me to find out about the various areas of your life, such as social, spiritual, love, self, and work. As we explore the various areas of your life, we’ll discover patterns. As we uncover these, we can determine what is working for you, so we can explore ways of increasing these positive experiences in other areas of your life.

I believe people have the capacity for self-awareness and the ability to resolve their problems with support and assistance. So many people wander through life feeling like there's more or that things could be different, so thank you for taking that brave step toward setting the goals that will bring you the relief, happiness, and joy that we all seek.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mary has equipped me with the tools to help me navigate my way through grief, stress and anxiety. The mechanisms Mary taught me in the first few weeks we had been in contact have helped me immensely and I am sure they will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Mary has a friendly, thoughtful nature and I feel very much at ease discussing my innermost feelings and experiences with her. Mary is both genuinely caring and professional, which I believe is the ultimate combination in a counselor.

Mary seems to be a well trained counselor. She always understands my situation and is very respectful. She delivers good advice that has helped me deal with my current issues.

During our live sessions she is very comforting and will always listen to what I have to say.
