About Mary

Mary Slaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with twenty years of clinical experience. She integrates goal-focused work with reflective exploration, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and relationship tools to help clients identify patterns that get in the way of well-being.

Background and approach

Mary emphasizes practical strategies while attending to underlying thoughts, feelings, and relational dynamics so progress can feel both meaningful and sustainable. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, addiction, sleep disruption, career and parenting pressures, and ADHD.

Mary also pays attention to issues such as body image, communication difficulties, control struggles, life purpose, and women's concerns. She approaches change in a collaborative way, helping clients clarify goals, discover what already works in their lives, and expand those strengths across social, spiritual, self, and work domains.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for easing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior to produce tangible improvements.

She also employs the Gottman Method for relationship work, which centers on improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening connection through structured exercises and conversations. This approach is useful for partners looking to rebuild trust and improve daily interaction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary treats that choice as collaborative. She works with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed and combining elements from different models when that better serves progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care from home or work. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to use the format that feels most accessible for a client's needs.
