About Mary

Mary Ellen Cullity is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Hampshire with ten years of clinical experience. She works with individuals and families facing challenges such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety and stress, parenting concerns, family conflict, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in maternal and child health, early intervention, and hospice settings, and she has an expressed interest in supporting parents of young children. Mary Ellen favors a compassionate, client-centered style that aims to meet each person where they are and build practical steps toward change.

She integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to tailor care to each client’s needs. The approach emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and developing new ways to reach their goals.

Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Mary Ellen describes her stance as nonjudgmental and individualized, guiding clients through obstacles while honoring their values and priorities.

Approaches to Online Therapy and Practical Support

Mary Ellen commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered practice when working online. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build coping skills for life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and are able to explore values, decisions, and personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary Ellen partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical. This helps create a plan that fits each person rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around busy lives, provide options for different comfort levels with technology and interaction, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions or when in-person meetings are not practical.
