About Mary
Dr. Mary Ann Hensley brings a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to therapy that emphasizes acceptance, skill-building, and trauma sensitivity.
Background and approach
With 23 years of clinical experience, she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and stress, as well as challenges related to ADHD and self-esteem.
Her training as an LMHC and LPC grounds a practical focus on tools clients can use between sessions to improve daily functioning. She has worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds and has supported people facing domestic violence, immigration-related stress, panic, and post-traumatic concerns.
Dr. Hensley aims to meet clients where they are, helping them develop coping strategies for life changes, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, and relational or LGBT-related issues.
Located in Florida, she combines clinical knowledge with a collaborative style to help clients set and pursue meaningful goals while building resilience.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Hensley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed actions toward a meaningful life; this approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, useful for depression, panic, and coping difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques so treatment remains flexible and responsive to progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Dr. Hensley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, and they provide multiple ways to receive support when in-person visits are impractical.
