About Mary

Mary McDaniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and aims to support clients who feel stuck by the issues that interfere with daily functioning and life satisfaction. Mary emphasizes a warm, open, and interactive therapeutic presence while treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and empathy.

Her practice is strength-based and solution-focused, guiding clients to uncover practical tools and skills they already possess. She blends attachment-informed thinking, mindfulness, and trauma-focused strategies to explore underlying causes of emotional and relational difficulties while offering hope and practical steps toward change.

Mary works collaboratively with clients to set goals that reflect their values and to build coping skills for challenges such as grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and struggles with self-esteem or life transitions.

Clients seeking support can expect an emphasis on empowerment and skill-building, with an aim toward increased functioning, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of purpose. Mary welcomes motivated individuals who are ready to take active steps toward healing and greater fulfillment.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Mary integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients understand relationship patterns and to develop present-moment awareness. Attachment-informed work explores how early and current relational experiences shape reactions and connection, which can be useful for addressing relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and communication challenges. Mindfulness practice supports regulation of stress, anxiety, and impulsivity by teaching attention skills and grounding strategies that can be applied in daily life.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate, practical steps clients can try between sessions. This approach highlights clients' existing strengths and focuses on small, achievable changes that move toward personal goals. Together these methods allow for both exploration of deeper patterns and the development of concrete coping tools in a collaborative way; the therapist works with each person to determine which combination best fits their needs and preferences.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other obligations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to practice new skills in real-world contexts, making therapy more adaptable to varied lifestyles and time constraints.
