About Mary
Mary Marks works with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 14 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and get back to daily life.
Mary focuses on clear skills people can use right away. She teaches ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, practice mindfulness, and try small exposures to reduce anxiety.
Background and approach
She emphasizes steady self-care and better sleep as parts of recovery. In sessions she listens in a calm, nonjudgmental way and helps people make sense of what drives their reactions. She uses motivational interviewing and straightforward education about how behavior and thinking affect mood.
Her goal is to help clients build coping routines that fit their day-to-day life. Mary has worked with concerns ranging from depression, trauma, grief, and addiction to relationship strains, parenting stress, and body-image issues. She also supports people dealing with anger and intimacy-related problems, and offers guidance around medication when that is part of care.
Clients will find practical tools, attention to how attachments shape relationships, and a focus on values-based action. She combines cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance and mindfulness practices to help people move toward goals at a steady pace.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings. It can help with anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can be useful when communication or intimacy issues are central.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever is most convenient. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates between sessions and can help practice skills or get reminders about coping steps between meetings.
