About Mary
Mary Cashman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and coping with grief and loss.
Mary uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She works alongside clients to try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues and concerns around guilt and shame. Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions goal-oriented and relevant.
Sessions include time to talk through immediate concerns and to plan specific steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness methods are used when they match a client’s goals, for example to reduce stress or improve emotional awareness.
Mary encourages practical steps and regular check-ins to measure progress. She asks about what is working and what needs to change, then adjusts the approach. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies rather than long explanations.
How Mary uses CBT and related approaches online
This therapist commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters to them.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people practice paying attention to the present moment and to respond less reactively to stress. Mindfulness can be paired with CBT exercises to support emotion regulation and stress reduction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which mix of CBT, client-centered methods, or mindfulness to use. That collaboration helps shape practical steps and homework that fit the person’s needs.
