About Mary
Dr. Mary Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people with eating and sleep difficulties, addictions, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, career questions, and LGBT-related issues.
She began her career as a high school art teacher, where she learned how to notice what young people needed beyond the classroom. That experience, and later mentoring work in churches, shaped her interest in practical skill-building and support.
Dr. Walker completed a masters degree in counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology and later finished a Ph.D. at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Her training has been supplemented by focused study on trauma, PTSD, dissociation, personality disorders, grief, depression, OCD, transitions, and anxiety.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered ways of working and aspects of dialectical behavior therapy, existential thinking, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, learning small behavior changes, and practicing new coping skills.
Dr. Walker has worked with people who survived childhood abuse and with those facing conflict at work and in relationships. She pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and adoption experiences, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and co-morbid conditions. Her style is steady and practical, guiding people through concrete steps to manage daily challenges.
People interested in coaching-style support for career or life transitions will find structured options alongside therapy. International clients may be supported in English. Prospective clients are invited to confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Walker uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors into clear, actionable steps. CBT sessions typically involve identifying a specific problem, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new responses to reduce distress.She also draws on client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. This helps set priorities and make practical goals that fit day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then agree on a plan together. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques to see what helps most.
The biography does not specify particular online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between meetings and to practice skills in real-life settings.
