About Mary
Mary Griffith is an MS LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Mary uses clear, structured methods to address everyday problems. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing practical alternatives. Sessions tend to cover skills people can use between meetings, small experiments, and straightforward problem-solving rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes work with a wide range of issues such as anger, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and concerns related to sexual expression or kink. Mary blends several approaches to match each person's situation.
In practice she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action, and Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation when needed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on attachment and closeness issues.
Mary asks people to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting so she can match goals to methods. She explains session structure, suggested exercises, and what to expect at the start. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How Mary uses structured approaches in online sessions
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve tracking thoughts, testing small experiments, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them even when difficult feelings remain. This approach can help with life transitions, chronic stress, or persistent worries by shifting attention to what matters most.
Client-Centered methods keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities and experience, letting the therapist follow the pace the client sets while offering reflective feedback and practical options.
Mary treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Together they track what helps and adjust course when needed.
