About Mary

Mary Redding is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience helping people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes an individualized, compassionate style that adapts to each person's needs, drawing on proven therapeutic methods to address concerns such as family conflict, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. Her work frequently centers on improving communication, strengthening self-esteem, and supporting clients through major life transitions and stress.

Mary combines practical skills training with deeper exploration of attachment patterns and coping strategies when addressing issues like anger, addictions, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also works with clients facing adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, blended family dynamics, and relationship difficulties.

Practicing in Mississippi, Mary aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can build resilience and clarify goals. Her approach weaves elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based techniques, and client-centered work to help people develop clearer perspectives and more effective ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, which can be helpful for improving communication and addressing family or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works together with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the therapeutic plan as needs evolve so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Mary is offered through 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 maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they support ongoing skills practice and check-ins between live sessions.
