Mary Aubrey

Mary Aubrey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 40 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and eating and food-related issues. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and track progress.

Mary has worked in college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospital settings, and private practice. That variety means she has met many kinds of pressures and life changes. She draws on decades of experience when thinking about what might help someone now.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what the person is experiencing, naming goals, and trying practical steps to move forward. She checks in on progress and adjusts the plan as needed.

Mary uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand. Cognitive behavioral ideas help with patterns of thought and behavior. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover long-standing patterns tied to relationships and past experiences. Solution-focused techniques help build on strengths and quick, concrete changes.

People contact her when they feel overwhelmed by life transitions, parenting strain, work conflict, addiction concerns, body image or caregiver stress. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life. To start, callers complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How Mary blends practical approaches for online work

Mary draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT is useful for worry, panic, low mood, and eating-related habits because it focuses on clear steps and real-life experiments.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that come from past relationships and life stages. This approach can help when long-standing feelings or relationship patterns show up in current problems. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify strengths and small changes that can make a quick difference, especially for goal-oriented concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary treats that as a collaborative process and will help figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. She tracks progress and adjusts the plan if something isn't working.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep continuity of care through life changes while focusing on practical strategies that carry over into everyday life.
