About Mary

Mary Ann Godefroy offers focused support for adults navigating stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With 14 years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, professional presence and a commitment to providing individualized attention that fits each person’s circumstances.

Background and approach

Mary Ann emphasizes a warm, supportive atmosphere where clients can explore symptoms such as depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD-related difficulties alongside other complex life issues. Her practice integrates evidence-based methods to promote insight, healthier coping, and clearer interpersonal skills.

She blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered techniques, and mindfulness to help clients build practical skills and make meaningful changes. Mary Ann holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in California, offering therapeutic guidance shaped by a pragmatic, client-focused orientation.

She accepts international clients for online work and adapts sessions to meet varying needs and schedules, aiming to support steady progress toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Mary Ann commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or problematic coping. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed over time and helps clients build healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves, which can be useful for relationship problems, attachment issues, and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is collaborative: she will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor techniques from these approaches to create a clear plan for sessions. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills-focused CBT, relationally focused attachment work, or a blend of methods best supports progress.

Online therapy with Mary Ann uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow for continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
