About Mary

Mary Kivett is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem challenges through a personalized, strengths-based approach.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies that support day-to-day functioning and foster greater resilience. Kivett brings a collaborative, energetic style to sessions and aims to create an encouraging, nonjudgmental environment.

She draws from client-centered principles to center each person’s goals, integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and uses solution-focused methods to identify workable steps forward. Her work also addresses relational concerns, grief, parenting and career questions, along with a range of life transitions and identity-related topics.

Prospective clients can expect a tailored plan that combines empathy, clear tools, and an emphasis on uncovering individual strengths to support meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical access

Client-centered therapy places the client’s goals and perspective at the heart of work, offering acceptance and collaborative problem solving to help people clarify values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and impulsivity. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and strengths to create momentum when facing life changes.

Deciding which approach will be most helpful is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with clients to explore needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts strategies as those priorities evolve so treatment remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of where the client is located within Florida.
