About Mary
Mary Redding is an LCSW (Master of Social Work, Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 36 years of experience in Mississippi. She helps people handle family and parenting challenges, manage stress and anxiety, and cope with major life changes.
She uses clear, structured methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce anger, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, career concerns, and relationship strain.
Mary draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and guide action. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns that affect current family life.
In a typical meeting she listens, asks focused questions, and suggests small behavioral experiments to try between sessions. She offers coaching-style guidance when clients want concrete tools for problem solving at home or work. Solutions are paced to match someone’s daily responsibilities.
Over three decades of practice have shaped a practical, steady approach to complex family and personal problems. People who want structure, clear options, and concrete practice often find the pace and focus useful. Before booking, confirm the current session formats directly so arrangements match your schedule.
How Mary uses structured approaches in online work
Mary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts, test their accuracy, and try new behaviors that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anger management, anxiety, and low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when strong emotions are present. ACT supports decision making during life changes and caregiving stress.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current family interactions. This approach can help people who are dealing with communication problems, blended family issues, or attachment concerns in parent-child relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review goals and day-to-day constraints and then propose methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies fit best and can be adjusted over time.
Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before you book. Knowing the format helps plan practical details like shorter check-ins during a workday, camera-off conversations when bandwidth is limited, or longer sessions for deeper problem solving. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule without promising a particular format.
