About Mary
Mary Snyder is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies so clients can better understand what’s happening and make workable changes. She begins by listening and asking clear questions.
That helps identify patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships. Then she offers options - short-term steps for immediate relief and longer-term approaches when issues run deeper.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be collaborative, not prescriptive. Mary positions herself as a guide and coach rather than someone who will tell clients what to do. Mary draws on methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Those approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and practice calmer responses to anger or anxiety. She also uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the situation. Her background includes work in community counseling centers and roles supporting foster families and military communities.
Across 15 years in the field she has helped people facing depression, relationship and communication problems, substance use concerns, grief, and life transitions. Mary also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and questions about identity and life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She aims to meet people where they are and tailor the pace and tools to each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mary uses client-centered therapy to create an open, respectful conversation where the person's goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting the client's own decisions about change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is practical and skill-focused, useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns because it teaches concrete ways to respond differently in stressful moments.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. These exercises can be short and are easy to practice between sessions to support emotion regulation and clearer thinking.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mary will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises; phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people stay connected between sessions or get brief support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives while still working on meaningful change.
