Mary Griffith

Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 15 years helping people through hard times. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Her work aims to offer steady, practical support when day-to-day life feels overwhelming.

Mary listens first. She asks simple questions and helps people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She uses straightforward tools so people can try ideas between meetings.

Her background includes a wide range of concerns from stress, grief, and trauma to parenting strain, work pressure, and issues of intimacy. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Mary pays attention to how identity and culture shape each person’s experience.

Therapy draws on approaches that focus on values, emotional awareness, and practical skills. She combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and client-centered listening. The aim is to help people build resilience, improve relationships, and manage difficult feelings.

People who come to Mary often want clear steps and honest dialogue. She encourages small experiments and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone wants a calm, direct therapist who respects individual differences, Mary offers a consistent, thoughtful way forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and learning practical skills to change reactions and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how a person connects with others when relationships feel strained.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, current struggles, and preferences. That conversation guides which combination of ACT, CBT, EFT, or client-centered methods makes the most sense for them.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals will help match the session length and frequency to what a person can manage while working toward their goals.
