About Mary
Mary Yost is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, and related concerns.
Her practice uses straightforward, skills-based work. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try new ways of responding, and build small habits that change day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she draws on to make thinking and behavior easier to change.
Mary also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy when those methods fit the situation. She brings client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas into sessions as well. That mix helps with mood, communication problems, commitment issues, codependency, and coping after separation or major life events.
Many people who come to Mary are handling chronic health problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, or the emotional impact of cancer. She also supports people managing autism-related concerns, body image struggles, and feelings of emptiness.
Her style is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete skills, and small experiments clients can use between meetings. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work will proceed.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behavior patterns. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build actions that matter, which helps when mood or avoidance get in the way. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current communication and trust.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one approach fits every issue. That conversation often happens in the first few sessions and can shift as progress is made.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. It can also support using real-life situations as practice between meetings so skills are applied in everyday routines.
