About Mary

Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience helping people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to support clients facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, ADHD-related struggles, and major life transitions, tailoring care to each person's situation and goals. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, compassionate stance that honors diverse identities and experiences.

Mary combines practical skills training with deeper exploration of feelings and attachment patterns, helping clients develop coping strategies, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as addictions, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, parenting stresses, and career-related strain.

Mary's work balances empathy with structured therapeutic tools, encouraging clients to clarify values, build resilience, and make intentional changes. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to accommodate different needs.

Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire to find a fit and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and commit to meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear; it is useful for life transitions, stress, and issues that involve motivation and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, which can lessen anxiety, depression, and sleep or concentration problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional patterns and strengthening emotional bonds, making it helpful for intimacy-related concerns and relational stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively to determine what methods fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She blends validation and empathic listening with structured techniques, and will adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Mary uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access to care. These formats allow for continuity of support across different schedules and locations, making it easier to integrate sessions into busy lives and to maintain momentum between meetings.
