About Mary

Mary Pruett is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with addictions. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, body image, panic attacks, and communication problems.

Background and approach

In therapy she works to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build new skills for coping. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing symptoms of panic and anxiety, and strengthening motivation and confidence. Mary tailors the pace to each person’s needs.

She is licensed in Indiana and Virginia and brings long experience from multiple clinical settings. That background helps her draw on a range of techniques that fit the person in front of her rather than a single method. Mary knows reaching out takes courage and aims to make the first steps easier.

She supports people as they explore goals, try new strategies, and measure what is helping. Her goal is to help people feel more capable and balanced in daily life.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Mary lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based techniques for online support

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical changes. One approach emphasizes skill-building for managing anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management tools to reduce immediate symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on change-oriented work for addictions and motivation, helping people identify triggers, build new routines, and set achievable goals to support recovery and healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often begin with small experiments to see what helps and then adapt based on what feels most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and ongoing notes simple to fit into a busy schedule. These options help people access care in ways that match their daily routine and energy levels.
