About Mary

Dr. Mary Fields offers a compassionate, individualized approach for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, trauma, grief, ADHD, and a wide range of other life difficulties.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience, she integrates several therapeutic traditions to match interventions to each person's needs and goals. Her manner is warm, reflective, and interactive, emphasizing collaboration rather than letting diagnostic labels define the work.

Dr. Fields holds psychology credentials as CO Psychologist PSY.0006894 and NC Psychologist 5755 and practices from Indiana.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral interventions alongside existential and Jungian influences, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to explore patterns, develop practical coping skills, and uncover meaningful personal themes. Sessions are shaped together so that therapy addresses immediate concerns like sleep, eating, or anger while also attending to deeper issues such as attachment, identity, or recovery from trauma.

Outside clinical work she values time outdoors and family activities, a perspective that informs a human-centered, respectful stance in therapy. Prospective clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy option and completing the brief matching questionnaire to find a good fit with her availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Dr. Fields commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, sleep, and behavior. CBT focuses on recognizing and changing thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, while mindfulness adds attention-based practices that cultivate present-moment awareness and stress reduction.

She also draws from Existential Therapy to explore meaning, values, and life choices when clients face transitions, grief, or questions of purpose. That approach encourages reflection about what matters most and supports clients in aligning actions with their priorities. Together these methods offer a mix of skills-based work and deeper exploration of personal meaning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue therapy from varied locations while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
