About Mary
Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing worry, low mood, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes clear, everyday language and a warm, respectful approach.
Mary focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress from work or caregiving. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and identity-related stress. Her practice honors diverse backgrounds and life stories.
In sessions she listens first and asks questions that help clients see what matters most to them. She helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between visits. Simple tools for coping and clearer communication are common goals in her work.
Mary draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She tailors these to each person’s situation instead of using one fixed style. The focus is on what will be useful now.
People who choose her often want a direct but compassionate guide to manage difficult feelings and rebuild routines. She aims to help clients gain better self-understanding, stronger coping skills, and clearer priorities. If someone is ready to take that first step, Mary helps them find a path forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Mary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with sleep, panic, and work-related stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions anyway. ACT is useful for coping with chronic worry, grief, and ongoing life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. She checks in over time and adjusts strategies as progress or new challenges appear.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats can be better for brief coaching-style sessions, while others suit longer, in-depth conversations. Discussing preferences at the first meeting helps shape sessions that fit your routine and goals.
