About Mary

Mary Aubrey is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 40 years of practice in Massachusetts. She has worked across college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospital-based services, and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

Mary supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, substance concerns, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting and caregiver stress, and a range of life transitions and identity concerns. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented: she listens for each person’s perspective, helps clarify priorities, and tracks progress together.

Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, develop practical coping skills, and explore underlying themes that influence current struggles. She aims to tailor methods to the situation and to the client’s preferences and pace.

Mary holds an M.S.W. from Smith College School for Social Work and practices as LICSW MA 1015299-1. She offers sessions in English and works with adults across a wide range of life circumstances from her Massachusetts practice.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support



Mary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring patterns, relational themes, and deeper emotional influences that can shape current difficulties. These approaches aim to combine symptom-focused techniques with exploration of underlying dynamics to address both immediate relief and longer-term change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust plans as needed so clients and therapist find the most useful mix of techniques together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for schedules and life demands. These formats can make it easier to access regular support from Massachusetts and to use therapy in ways that fit daily routines and practical constraints.
