About Mary

Dr. Mary Jane Preece brings a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to therapy, blending cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With LPC and LPCC credentials, she draws on two decades of clinical practice in Ohio to tailor therapy to each person's situation, emphasizing practical skills and increased self-understanding. She lists ADHD among her focus areas and integrates strategies that support attention and coping where relevant.

Her work addresses a broad array of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, career struggles, and compassion fatigue. Dr.

Preece also supports clients facing chronic illness, caregiver burden, fertility and aging concerns, and problems rooted in attachment or family of origin. She uses DBT skills when emotion regulation is needed and existential and motivational elements when clients are exploring meaning and values.

Throughout treatment she aims to create a respectful, collaborative space that foregrounds the client's goals and preferences. Sessions emphasize concrete tools alongside reflective work so clients can build resilience, improve communication, and move through transitions with greater clarity and intention.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship; it helps clients feel heard and guides exploration of personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, try techniques, and adapt methods so treatment aligns with individual goals and preferences. That process often combines skill-building with deeper reflection to support both short-term coping and longer-term growth.

Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people maintain continuity of care from varied locations. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions, to check in more frequently when needed, and to fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals.
