Mary is very good at listening, asking questions and offering feedback. She communicates well via text and video and checks in often! I feel like she cares and it was easy for me to open up quickly.

More about Mary
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
As a counselor, I have worked with clients of varying ages, personalities and struggles. I believe that everyone can benefit from having an unbiased, empathetic person to listen to them. Someone to meet them where they are and help them to work through their problems, identify their needs and accomplish their goals. Life is hard, sometimes we need a little help to get through the rough times.
I have a compassionate, client centered, and strengths based approach. I assist my clients in creating a working toolbox of coping skills and mindfulness interventions to help them to cope with past issues and daily life stressors. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and stress management among other concerns.
I look forward to meeting my clients where they are, walking along side of them and helping them to find hope and a brighter future.

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.

She is great and patient and sincere.
Mary is a very compassionate, non-judgemental, calm and amazing person. She really listens and tries to do her best to help. I'm looking forward to having her help me through the last chapter of live as I am getting older but none the wiser :)
She’s amazing and I have already recommended her and BetterHelp to a few people.
Mary is wonderful to work with. She is patient, calm and listens without judging. She gives me freedom to get stuff off my chest. She offers different perspectives, gives suggestions and is always encouraging. I look forward to our visits!
I was skeptical about therapy for many reasons but Mary has made it comfortable for me to be more open minded about the struggles I’m dealing with and is very professional. Looking forward to our continued working relationship.
She is amazing at listening and being available for you when you need it most. She inspires me to be better and allow myself to improve.
I have enjoyed having Mary as my therapist. She is so kind, listen well and very encouraging!
