About Mary
Mary Mayle is a licensed independent social worker with 18 years of clinical experience who helps people translate life challenges into practical steps for change.
Background and approach
She emphasizes that each person’s experiences and story matter, and she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where those experiences can be explored and converted into concrete strategies to improve day-to-day functioning. Her practice has addressed anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and other concerns across diverse backgrounds.
Grounded in evidence-informed methods, Mary draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, guided imagery and hypnotherapy to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills. She works collaboratively to tailor interventions to a client’s goals and preferences, translating insight into actionable steps that fit individual circumstances.
Based in Ohio, Mary brings a compassionate, practical style aimed at helping clients regain balance and move forward in ways that feel meaningful to them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mary often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. She also employs client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the client’s own goals to guide the pace and focus of work. Emotionally-focused techniques can be used to explore emotional patterns and deepen understanding of relational or intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to determine which combination of methods best aligns with their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting strategies over time rather than prescribing a single path from the outset.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health constraints. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, while still enabling therapists to use CBT tools, mindfulness practices, guided imagery, and motivational techniques in real time.
