About Mary

Mary Marks is a licensed clinical social worker who speaks English and Spanish. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship problems. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people find steady coping strategies and clearer thinking.

She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas guide her work when relationship patterns and trust issues come up. Mary has 14 years of clinical experience and brings straightforward skills like motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and mindfulness exercises into sessions. She often focuses on stress reduction, sleep problems, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and identity questions related to LGBT and gender dysphoria.

Sessions may include practical exercises, short skills practice, and focused reflection to help people manage symptoms and make choices that fit their values. She also supports people dealing with loss, illness-related challenges, and body image or eating concerns. People who choose her can expect a respectful, calm approach that emphasizes listening and building trust.

Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where small changes add up to better day-to-day functioning.

Online support

How Mary’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, or coping with major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape trust and communication. This approach can help when recurring relationship struggles or attachment wounds affect current life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something is not working, adjustments are made together so the work feels relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options let clients fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
