About Mary
Mary (Gina) Arnold is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Mary works with people who want clear steps and practical tools to change unhelpful habits and thoughts.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, test new responses, and build small routines that fit everyday life. Expect direct conversations about what’s happening now and what can be tried between sessions.
Mary also addresses issues such as codependency, control struggles, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and family problems. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. Work on mood concerns, self-love, women’s issues, workplace stress, and young adult transitions is available in her practice.
Her style draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to keep focus on the person’s values and present experience. Sessions mix practical exercises with reflective discussion to help people test changes in real situations.
Mary offers straightforward planning and follow-through. She asks about current routines and goals, suggests small experiments, and reviews what worked. This approach is meant for someone who wants clear, structured steps toward feeling more capable and steady.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts, test new behaviors, and set short experiments they can try between sessions. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps and measurable changes, which often adapt well to remote work.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes choosing actions that match what matters most. ACT can help with anxiety, addictive patterns, and low motivation by clarifying values and small committed actions. Client-Centered Therapy appears in her practice as a straightforward attention to the person’s experience and goals, creating room for practical problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That decision is revisited as needs change so the plan stays useful.
