About Mary
Mary Griffith is an LPC with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes respectful, person-centered care that recognizes each client’s story.
She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Mary listens first, then helps people name the patterns that get in the way. Together they set small, concrete goals and try new ways of coping between sessions.

Mary has worked with people dealing with stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep difficulties, and parenting strain. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and identity-related issues including LGBT matters.

How Mary’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It is useful when someone wants to live more in line with what matters to them despite hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into manageable steps and offers tools to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on feelings and attachment patterns to improve closeness and communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can shift over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made together.
