About Mary
Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She also helps with relationship struggles, parenting strain, addictions, and anger concerns.
Mary aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She listens without judgment and breaks problems into small, solvable pieces. Early sessions often focus on understanding what matters most to the client and what gets in the way day to day.
Background and approach
Her approach blends talk and action. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people stay present and reduce reactivity when emotions run high.
Mary also brings client-centered care and emotion-focused ideas into sessions. That means she follows each person’s pace, reflects what she hears, and helps name difficult feelings so they lose some of their power. For people coping with grief, trauma, or changes in identity, that steady presence can make it easier to move forward.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying warm and respectful. Mary helps people set realistic steps, practice new skills between meetings, and track small wins. She works with adults across many concerns and accepts international clients for online work from Mississippi.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Online sessions can pair those value-based goals with home practice that fits daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with concrete behavior changes; it works well over video or phone when practicing skills and reviewing homework together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong emotions so they become easier to manage; this approach can be effective in single-person sessions to address relationship patterns and attachment wounds.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what the client needs and what feels most helpful during early meetings.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when discussing feelings and practicing exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support between sessions or to arrange flexible meeting times. These options allow for consistent work even when schedules or locations change.
