About Mary
Mary Mauck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem problems, career issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on first responder issues and veteran and armed forces issues.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness tools to help clients notice reactions and calm their thinking.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions include talking through current problems, testing small behavior changes, and reflecting on what works. Motivational interviewing may be used to help people move toward goals when change feels difficult.
Mary adapts the pace to each person. She combines short-term strategies for immediate relief with longer conversations about patterns that repeat over time. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at recurring themes that affect feelings and relationships.
Practical matters are part of the process. She guides people through steps they can try between sessions and checks progress regularly. Those interested in starting are asked to complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the intake process.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and then try alternative responses. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and tracking what changes in mood or behavior.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person’s concerns to set session priorities. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a way to build present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and practice grounding skills for managing strong emotions.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then pick methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. They can also let people try methods like CBT homework and mindfulness practice between meetings to reinforce progress.
