About Mary

Mary Roldan Balboa is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of experience assisting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and concerns around self-esteem and career direction.

Background and approach

She blends a strengths-focused perspective with practical strategies to help clients manage panic, navigate life transitions, and address issues like isolation, financial stress, caregiver strain, and multicultural concerns. Her work often emphasizes finding purpose and rebuilding resilience after loss or during midlife shifts.

Mary draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. She integrates client-centered techniques to create a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship and uses cognitive behavioral tools to clarify unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping skills.

Mindfulness practices and narrative methods further help clients engage with emotions and reframe personal stories, while motivational interviewing supports movement toward meaningful goals. Mary holds LPC credentials in Texas and Wisconsin and practices from Wisconsin, offering services in both English and Spanish.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits

Mary commonly uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard and are helped to set goals that reflect their values. This approach is useful for those seeking a supportive space to explore life direction, self-worth, and interpersonal concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and panic symptoms. CBT tends to be goal-oriented and can produce practical tools to manage day-to-day stressors. Mindfulness techniques are integrated to help regulate emotion and build present-moment awareness, supporting people who struggle with rumination or impulse-driven behavior.

Choosing the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to determine which combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access care from different locations within the therapist’s practice area. These formats support continuity of care and let clients select the communication style that best matches their comfort and daily life.
