About Mary

Mary Jo Greenwood is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on practical, evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also drawing from attachment-based and client-centered approaches.

Background and approach

With 21 years of experience, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and relationships. Her work also addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Greenwood has worked across settings from psychiatric inpatient care to group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient counseling, and has substantial experience in child welfare and the juvenile system, including supporting abused and neglected children and their parents. She offers a trauma-informed, whole-person perspective and collaborates with clients to develop flexible treatment plans that adapt to changing needs.

Licensed as an LCSW in Wyoming and Nevada, she provides therapy in English and accepts international clients, offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase access for people in rural areas and beyond.

Integrating Practical Therapies for Online Care

Mary Jo Greenwood often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people address relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and caregiving dynamics. Additionally, her client-centered stance emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients shape goals and the pace of work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Greenwood works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and experiences and then tailors a plan that may combine CBT techniques, attachment-focused exploration, mindfulness, or DBT skills as needed. She adapts treatment over time so interventions fit changing circumstances and the client’s comfort level.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes these approaches more accessible and flexible. These formats allow people in rural areas or with busy schedules to engage in short messaging exchanges, schedule phone or video sessions, and gradually build toward longer conversations when ready. The range of options supports steady progress while accommodating practical constraints and personal pace.
