Dr. Mary Fawcett, LPC

Dr. Mary Fawcett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience in counseling and counselor education. She brings a steady, practical approach to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues around self-esteem. Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

In the room she keeps conversation direct and respectful. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions emphasize real skills people can try between meetings, and she adapts those tools to each person’s needs and pace.

Her work blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies also appear when helpful. She tailors the plan to what the person wants to change rather than following a fixed script.

People often come with pressing life changes, chronic pain or illness concerns, or questions that surface in midlife. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues alongside other long-term life transitions. Her aim is to help clients build clearer choices and steadier coping over time.

Dr. Fawcett frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She supports people through practical problem solving, clearer decision making, and learning ways to feel more connected to their goals and values.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Dr. Fawcett often uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can discover their own answers. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and reasons to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to see which methods fit their goals, lifestyle, and preferences. That collaboration guides how sessions are structured and which tools are prioritized.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow focused work on skills between meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand a brief touchpoint rather than a full session. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to match session length and rhythm to your day.
