About Mary

Mary Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family issues, and other concerns.

Background and approach

She completed her Master’s in Social Work at Aurora University in Illinois and holds LCSW licensure in Illinois (IL LCSW 149-012378) and Montana (MT LCSW BBH-LCSW-LIC-23859). After early work with high school students in a church setting, she expanded her practice to include adolescents, individuals, couples, and families while also gaining experience in school and community environments.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness-based techniques and trauma-focused work, with additional influences from client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives. Mary emphasizes the interplay of mind, body, and spirit and favors practical strategies that fit into busy lives.

She is known for engaging collaboratively with clients who are actively invested in their well-being and supports efforts to build balance through everyday mental and physical health practices. Now based in Indiana, Mary offers therapeutic support tailored to each person’s history and goals, blending evidence-informed methods with an interest in family dynamics and holistic care.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Offered Online

Mary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with grief, trauma responses, and everyday stress.

She approaches care collaboratively, recognizing that the best therapeutic path often emerges over time. The therapist partners with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and life circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools to each client so remote work can be practical and responsive to individual goals.
