About Mary

Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping people through hard times. She practices in Mississippi and offers an approach focused on clear listening and steady support. Her work covers common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes.

Mary builds a calm, respectful space where people can name what feels wrong and try practical steps forward. She draws on person-centered care that keeps the client's goals first. Sessions include straightforward skills training and steady emotional support rather than jargon or quick fixes.

Her background includes long experience addressing relationship strain, grief, caregiver stress, and issues tied to identity and trauma. She also helps with sleep problems, addiction concerns, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focuses for people facing life stage transitions and care responsibilities.

Mary uses a mix of well-known approaches to match the situation and the person. That can mean building new thinking patterns, practicing present-moment awareness, or working on emotional connection and communication. She works collaboratively to choose what fits a client's needs and day-to-day life.

Practical matters are handled simply: people complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions that fit their calendar. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered in English. Mary also accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce worry and improve sleep and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional bonds and communication, useful for addressing relationship distress and improving connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. She adjusts methods based on progress so the plan fits practical needs and real life demands, not just theory.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a day. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help when managing caregiving, work hours, or relocation. Licensed professionals guide clients in choosing how to meet based on what will best support their goals.
