About Mary
Mary Archibald is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and related problems such as anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She uses practical, skills-based approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and mindfulness. Her style emphasizes clear steps and concrete strategies rather than abstract talk.
Mary has long experience supporting people from military and veteran backgrounds and addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and postpartum depression. She also offers coaching around life changes and working with symptoms of ADHD as part of broader care.
Her practice integrates a faith perspective when clients want that included. She invites clients to consider personal beliefs as one tool among others during recovery and skill building. The focus stays on practical changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
To begin, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small experiments to see what changes feel useful.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage actions that match those values. ACT supports people in noticing difficult thoughts without getting stuck, then choosing steps that matter to them. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, which means she listens without directing and helps people shape their own goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss methods, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's goals and preferences. That shared decision-making helps match practical tools to real-life needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with her about how to adapt exercises, homework, and EMDR elements to an online setting so sessions fit daily life.
