About Mary

Mary Stone is a licensed social worker (LCSW) based in New York who draws on eleven years of clinical experience to support people navigating trauma, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concentration and focus struggles, and career transitions.

Background and approach

She centers therapy around the client's perspective, helping individuals access their strengths and build practical strategies for daily challenges while honoring each person's unique story. Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as EMDR for processing traumatic memories, dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation, and client-centered listening that prioritizes empathy and collaboration.

Mary frames therapeutic work as a courageous step and emphasizes partnership: she helps clients articulate goals and designs interventions that fit their circumstances. Prospective clients can expect a warm, respectful clinician with a focus on real-world coping skills and narrative change rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Integrating therapeutic methods for effective online care



Mary uses client-centered therapy to listen deeply and help clients explore their values, goals, and personal strengths; this approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is useful for building motivation and self-understanding. She also employs EMDR as an approach to support processing of distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms, helping some clients reduce the intensity of painful recollections through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing overwhelming emotions and workplace stress.

Deciding which method fits best is part of the therapeutic journey. Mary works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals and experiment with techniques, adjusting the plan as needs and preferences evolve. Clients are invited to share feedback so the process remains tailored and goal-focused.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue therapy from varied locations and to choose the format that best supports ongoing engagement and practical skill work with licensed professionals.
