Mary Ann YarbroughLCSW

Mary Ann Yarbrough is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She offers a calm, listening presence where people can talk through what matters to them. Her approach centers on meeting clients where they are and building trust so change can happen at a manageable pace.

Mary Ann describes therapy as a team effort. She spends time hearing each person's story and identifying strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and small steps toward goals. She also supports people working through grief, relationship or intimacy difficulties, substance use concerns, and challenges with self-esteem or body image.

With six years of experience, Mary Ann draws on a mix of approaches to match individual needs. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in what the client wants. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help with emotion regulation and stress management. Solution-focused strategies guide short-term goal-setting and action steps when clients want concrete changes. Mary Ann pays attention to social supports and practical needs when planning care.

People meet her in a warm, nonjudgmental setting where venting is okay. The emphasis is on realistic steps for healing, growing from difficult experiences, and moving toward the life each person wants.

How these approaches can help online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings, talk through parenting or pregnancy and childbirth concerns, or work out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mary Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan to match goals and daily life.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to involve real-life routines in the work without promising any particular format.
