About Mary

Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and sleep concerns. Mary aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters to them and find ways to feel better day to day.

Her work centers on understanding each person's story and current challenges. She uses straightforward methods to help people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and build routines that support rest and recovery. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps rather than overwhelming plans.

Mary combines a client-centered stance with structured tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness-informed work. That mix helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions. She also brings ideas from acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values and keep moving toward what matters.

She is experienced supporting people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and career transitions. Mary also works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is adaptive, focusing on what a person needs right now instead of a one-size-fits-all model.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style often find her approach helpful. She encourages honesty, curiosity, and steady progress toward clearer sleep patterns, calmer days, and healthier relationships. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to request a match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most so they can take small meaningful steps. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and worries about sleep or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes short exercises and practical homework that people can try between sessions to improve routines and sleep habits.

Mary sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether a values-focused, skills-based, or person-centered path fits best and adjust over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find therapy online helpful because it can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. Online meetings also make it easier to do brief check-ins, practice skills in daily settings, and follow up without a long commute.
