About Mary

Mary Archibald is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 31 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship or family challenges.

Background and approach

She works with clients facing grief, parenting difficulties, postpartum depression, anger and self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and brings particular attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and Veteran and Armed Forces issues. Her practice emphasizes walking alongside clients through difficult life changes toward meaningful, sustainable progress.

Mary draws on a mix of approaches to match a client’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that can incorporate a client’s values and, where appropriate, faith as a resource for healing.

Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, processing traumatic experiences, and strengthening relationships while supporting personal goals and resilience. Based in Florida, Mary provides a compassionate, person-centered style that blends evidence-informed methods with individualized care.

She aims to create a respectful space for clients to explore change, build coping strategies, and move toward greater wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Mary often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals. Both methods emphasize skills and actions that can be practiced between sessions to support ongoing change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to select or blend methods based on the client’s goals, life context, and preferences, and they adapt strategies as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, attend sessions from home or work, and access supports without commuting, while still working through trauma, grief, relationship issues, ADHD-related concerns, and everyday stressors.
