About Mary

Mary Guillory is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who emphasizes a collaborative relationship to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She prioritizes creating an environment where clients can gradually feel comfortable naming difficult emotions and patterns, recognizing that trust grows over time and through consistent, respectful interaction. Her practice blends cognitive behavioral strategies with person-centered values and trauma-informed sensibilities to tailor care to each person’s concerns.

Mary draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address issues like depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, relationship or family stress, and career-related challenges.

With five years of clinical experience, she focuses on meeting clients where they are and partnering with them to set realistic goals and practice skills that support daily functioning. Mary accepts international clients and conducts sessions using a range of online formats.

Her aim is to combine evidence-informed techniques with a warm, accepting therapeutic stance so clients feel supported while developing practical tools for coping and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Mary frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, which can aid coping with grief, trauma, or life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. In session this often translates to exploring connection needs and building skills for healthier interactions and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary frames therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients evaluate which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She integrates techniques as needed rather than relying on a single method, and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care around work, family, and time zone constraints. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with a licensed professional from Texas even when clients are located elsewhere.
