About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, or depression. Mary aims to create an affirming, understanding place where clients can begin to untangle what is weighing them down.
Her work is practical and tailored to each person. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help clients clarify values and take small, manageable steps toward them.
Mary has 16 years of experience supporting people through life changes, parenting stress, grief, and mood challenges. She also helps those navigating ADHD, compassion fatigue, and recovery from addictive behaviors. Sleep and rest concerns are part of the range she addresses when they relate to stress, mood, or daily functioning.
Sessions are shaped around what a person needs in the moment. Mary listens first, then offers strategies such as grounding practices, thought-work, or brief behavioral experiments to test new habits. She often blends mindfulness skills with practical problem solving.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear explanations, simple skills to try between sessions, and support for rebuilding routines that help with energy and emotional balance.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often includes homework exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and rest over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That means starting with what matters to the client and adjusting techniques if something isn’t helpful.
Confirm current session formats before booking to learn how Mary offers care online. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills where they live. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update or a focused skill is the goal, or a longer session when deeper processing is needed.
