About Mary

Mary Morgan is an LCSW based in Montana who brings seven years of clinical experience to her counseling practice. She draws on a strengths-based, interactive style that helps clients clarify goals and tap into personal resources to face difficult emotions.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions, as well as specialty areas like aging and hospice support and sexuality. Mary primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while incorporating mindfulness tools and tailored coping strategies to suit each person’s needs.

She emphasizes building a positive therapeutic relationship and collaborates with clients to develop practical skills for day-to-day challenges, including managing career pressures, parenting stress, and serious mental health issues such as bipolar disorder.

Outside of practice she enjoys hiking and camping across Montana and the Pacific Northwest, and she welcomes conversations about how to move toward clients’ goals and strengthen emotional resilience.

CBT and Practical Strategies for Online Care

Mary incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions, helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. CBT exercises often include setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and developing clearer problem-solving approaches to stressors.

She also brings mindfulness-based practices into virtual work to strengthen present-moment awareness and soothe intense emotions. Simple breathing and grounding techniques are taught and practiced to support coping with grief, caregiver fatigue, and relationship stressors, making them useful tools between meetings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist will try approaches, adjust strategies, and build a plan that fits the client’s life and priorities.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or travel. These formats allow consistent skill-building and timely support, helping clients integrate CBT and mindfulness practices into everyday routines.
