About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and parenting-related strain. Mary works with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck during life changes and loss.
She uses a practical mix of approaches and keeps sessions focused on what helps most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness are part of how she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing appear when someone needs clearer values or motivation to make changes.
Sessions emphasize skill-building for mood and emotional regulation. For example, Mary may use exercises to spot thought patterns, paced breathing or present-moment practices, and concrete behavioral steps to test new habits. She also brings experience supporting people with ADHD and ongoing stress from caregiving or demanding roles.
Mary also works with issues around relationships, grief, eating and sleep problems, identity concerns, and career strain. She offers practical strategies for panic, mood swings, and rebuilding routine after major changes.
Her style is collaborative and direct. People who want structured tools and clear steps to try often find this approach useful. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How Mary applies CBT, ACT and mindfulness online
Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and to try practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and real-life experiments to test what works for stress, anxiety, or mood shifts.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward living by those values even when emotions are difficult. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build attention and reduce reactivity through simple practices like grounding and breath work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary discusses your goals and preferences and uses that information to pick strategies that fit your situation. This is a collaborative decision and can shift as needs change.
The practical advantage of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy lives. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a session that does not require video when someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter setup.
