About Mary
Prof. Mary Streit is a New York psychologist with 11 years of experience as an educator, counselor and life coach. She helps people with parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, career questions and women's issues. She offers life coaching focused on practical steps toward clearer goals and more satisfying daily life.
Her approach is interactive and question-driven. She asks direct questions and invites honest responses to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the methods she uses to identify thinking patterns and try alternative responses.
Mary also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques to support values-based decisions and to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when useful to build commitment and small, manageable changes.
Sessions focus on concrete actions such as clarifying priorities, testing new behaviors, and tracking what works. She frames work as a series of steps clients can try between meetings, then review together to refine the plan.
Her background as an educator shapes a structured, clear way of working. Conversations aim to leave someone with specific next steps and ways to notice progress. People who prefer a practical, organized approach to making changes tend to do well with her style.
How her CBT and ACT work in online sessions
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different reactions. CBT sessions often include short exercises, behavioral experiments, and practical homework to test what changes help most.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and guide choices toward what matters most. Client-centered techniques are used to keep the focus on the client's own goals and perspective, letting the client shape the pace and topics of work.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will review options with the client and recommend methods based on goals, preferences and what has helped in early sessions. That means plans can shift as someone learns what fits their life.
Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a quick topic arises, or remove commute time so work can be squeezed into a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical advantages to keep work focused on clear goals and manageable steps.
