About Mary

Mary Ellen Cullity is an LCSW who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, life transitions, relationship and family difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a decade of clinical work to offer empathetic, individualized support for clients who feel stuck in familiar patterns and want practical, forward-focused change. Her background includes roles in maternal and child health, early intervention, and hospice, which inform a sensitive approach to grief, parenting young children, and major life stressors.

She emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that centers each person’s goals and strengths while addressing obstacles that interfere with daily functioning and wellbeing. In sessions she blends evidence-informed methods with a client-centered orientation, tailoring interventions to fit the client’s needs.

Mary Ellen helps people develop coping strategies, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build practical plans for change. She works with English-speaking clients in New Hampshire and offers multiple online session formats to increase access to care.

Approaches that translate well to online care



Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration to create a therapeutic direction shaped by the client’s own values and goals. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to explore patterns and decide what change looks like for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skill-building; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which complements cognitive and solution-focused work.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, try interventions, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful. That flexibility supports steady progress and respects individual preferences and goals.

Online sessions - whether by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and accessible options for those balancing parenting, work, or health concerns, while still offering structured clinical approaches and ongoing therapeutic support.
