About Mary
She has worked in maternal and child health, early intervention, and hospice settings. That background informs how she supports people through pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, and the practical strains of parenting young children.
In sessions she centers the person's goals and preferences. Conversations are collaborative and non-judgmental. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries small, concrete changes to test what works.
Her practice draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness skills. These tools are used to manage anxiety, change unhelpful thoughts, and build daily habits that improve mood and functioning.
Mary Ellen also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to clarify priorities and move toward realistic goals. She often blends approaches so the work fits each person’s needs and life circumstances.
People who want straightforward, practical support for parenting, relationship stresses, grief, or life transitions will find an emphasis on clear steps and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and choices, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This helps people who want a respectful space to sort through feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills like spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for stress, postpartum mood concerns, and managing emotion in parenting moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying interventions, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, remove travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings.
