About Mary

Dr. Mary Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a decade of experience helping people navigate concerns such as eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, grief, mood disorders like bipolar, career transitions, LGBT-related issues, coaching needs, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a long-standing curiosity about personal stories and resilience, combining clinical training with earlier years as a high school art teacher and mentor in church settings to understand people across life stages.

Her academic path includes a master’s degree in counseling from Houston Graduate School of Theology and a Ph.D. from Texas A&M Corpus Christi, supplemented by focused study in trauma and related conditions. Clinically she favors person-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, existential, narrative, and mindfulness-informed techniques, tailoring them to each individual’s situation.

Dr. Walker emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate stance, aiming to walk alongside clients as they confront fear, anger, frustration, or persistent patterns stemming from family of origin, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation, and other complex concerns.

Based in Texas, she brings practical skill-building and reflective work together so clients can develop coping strategies and pursue meaningful change at a pace that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support



Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s own experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for issues like mood regulation, anxiety, sleep problems, and patterns related to addictions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with validation strategies, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time and inviting client feedback to refine the plan. This cooperative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, enabling people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit sessions into busy schedules. These remote options support continuity of care and make it easier to practice skills between sessions while maintaining regular contact with a therapist.
