About Mary
Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to address issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and difficulties with coping during transitions.
Her background includes work with a broad range of additional focuses including attachment and adoption-related matters, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, ADHD, and intimacy or sexual culture topics. Mary favors a collaborative, person-centered stance that emphasizes empathy, cultural responsiveness, and practical skills.
She aims to help clients identify patterns that undermine wellbeing, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen communication and self-understanding. Her practice integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness-informed and emotion-focused techniques to tailor care to each individual’s needs.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where personal values and identities are acknowledged. Mary accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English from her Mississippi practice, supporting people seeking to build resilience, improve relationships, or manage ongoing stressors and life-change challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mary frequently applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for people wanting practical tools to change daily patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. ACT can be particularly helpful for coping with life transitions, chronic stress, or persistent worries when learning to accept internal experiences is part of the goal.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription. Mary works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow therapeutic work to proceed in ways that suit each client’s life.
