Dr. Mary Jane Preece, LPC, LPCC

Dr. Mary Jane Preece practices with a client-centered approach that keeps the person, not the problem, at the center of care. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with two decades of experience working with emotional challenges. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood and able to move forward.

She helps people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, caregiver strain, burnout, and recovery after trauma. Practical tools and small, manageable steps are part of her sessions so clients can try things between meetings and see what works.

Dr. Preece blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas. That mix helps people change unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, and notice patterns that get in the way of goals. She adjusts methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a single approach for everyone.

Her background includes work with people facing career strain, parenting challenges, chronic health issues, and complicated family histories. She brings 20 years of clinical experience in Ohio and focuses on helping people regain steadiness and clearer direction.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Clients set goals and explore realistic steps toward them. The work is practical, paced to the person's comfort, and aimed at improving day-to-day coping and long-term wellbeing.

Approaches used in online therapeutic work

Dr. Preece commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for feeling heard and getting unstuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when stress or intense feelings get in the way of daily life. These approaches are practical and skill-based, and they often pair well with mindfulness practices to slow down and notice reactions before acting.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between in-person visits when helpful. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing, homework, and skill practice to fit a client's daily life without promising a specific format.
