About Mary

Mary "Jackie" Downie is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She welcomes clients who are ready to build on strengths they've used before, identify patterns that may be limiting them, and try new thoughts and behaviors to create forward momentum. Jackie’s approach focuses on practical collaboration.

She draws from client-centered work to prioritize each person’s perspective, and integrates cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused techniques to address unhelpful thinking and difficult memories. She also uses solution-focused and emotionally-focused methods to help clients find concrete steps forward and improve emotional connections where relevant.

Jackie has supported people coping with workplace stress, parenting challenges, loss, addictions, and a wide range of mood and anxiety concerns. Based in Wyoming, she aims to meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to individual circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Prospective clients can expect an empathetic, strengths-oriented clinician who helps uncover usable resources from a person’s past while guiding them toward sustainable change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jackie blends client-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused techniques to meet different needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s own goals and values to guide change, which is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and practical direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured tools to process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related distress while building coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jackie treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to assess current needs, preferences, and goals, and adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and maintain consistent progress from wherever a client is located in Wyoming. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same structured strategies and supportive exchange as in-person work, while tailoring interactions to what best helps each client.
