Mary Griffith, LPC

Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on practical support for issues like depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and major life changes. Mary aims to build a respectful, affirming space where people feel heard and understood.

Her work centers on listening first and then helping people set small, achievable goals. Sessions often involve learning skills to manage stress and anxiety, improving communication, and building routines that support sleep and mood. She draws on several proven approaches to match techniques to each person's needs.

Mary pays attention to cultural background and identity when she meets someone. That means she asks about what matters to the person and adapts her approach to fit their life. She also addresses a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, intimacy challenges, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and burnout.

Clients can expect a calm, collaborative process where Mary helps them notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, autism traits, and complex emotional responses. Her goal is to help people build skills, clarify values, and move toward a life that feels more manageable.

If someone is ready to begin, Mary guides them through the first steps and supports progress at a steady pace. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on real changes people can use day to day.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that match those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering support and reflection to help them make sense of their experience and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and develop new habits for mood, sleep, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a busy routine. Some people prefer audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or shorter check-ins between longer sessions. Ask about current options when scheduling to choose what works best.
