About Mary

Mary Beth Barbush-Kirila is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 15 years of clinical experience who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She centers care on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances and goals. Mary Beth aims to create a collaborative process that meets clients where they are and supports steady progress over time.

Her work also touches on a broad range of related concerns including abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, control issues, family of origin matters, and challenges around body image and life transitions such as divorce and aging.

She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and emphasizes a supportive, individualized approach to help people build motivation, confidence, and practical coping skills. Mary Beth provides services from Ohio and communicates in English.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Mary Beth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment in a practical, skills-focused way. One commonly used approach emphasizes structured skill-building to manage stress and anxiety, teaching tools for emotional regulation, problem solving, and behavioral change that can reduce daily overwhelm and improve functioning. Another often-employed method focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences, increase safety, and restore a sense of balance and resilience after abuse or traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Mary Beth treats that choice as collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, review what feels most helpful, and adjust methods over time so the plan matches evolving needs and preferences rather than following a fixed template.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, continue work from a familiar environment, and maintain regular contact when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pace and tools to each client's circumstances.
