About Mary
Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Jackie writes simple, practical steps people can use right away.
She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person. Jackie begins by looking for what has worked for a client before. She helps people bring those strengths into current challenges.
Background and approach
Together they identify unhelpful patterns from the past and try new ways of thinking and behaving that can lead to small wins. Her work includes support for trauma, attention challenges, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship and family issues. She has also assisted people coping with parenting struggles, workplace stress, and loss.
Jackie uses techniques that encourage clear thinking and emotional awareness so clients can manage strong feelings like anger more effectively. Jackie favors practical, goal-oriented sessions that are still warm and person-focused. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method.
Sessions are conversational and aim to leave people with concrete next steps they can try between meetings. Based in Wyoming, Jackie provides care in English. Her approach is collaborative: she partners with each person to set goals and track progress.
The focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on each person’s strengths. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say and helps you notice your own resources, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief, or anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and worry about stressors.Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Jackie will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and help choose approaches that fit. That plan can change as needs do, and the therapist and client decide together what methods to try next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility in scheduling. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or ongoing tracking of moods and coping steps. These options make it easier to get care around work, parenting, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
