About Mary
Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is an Illinois-licensed therapist (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a range of therapeutic perspectives to address both pressing symptoms and underlying patterns that affect daily functioning. Her style is compassionate and interactive, emphasizing respectful, nonjudgmental collaboration.
Sessions are individualized: she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening, psychodynamic exploration, and EMDR where appropriate, along with mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation. Treatment plans are adapted to each person's needs rather than relying on labels.
Clients who choose her can expect an approach that balances practical skills with exploration of deeper life themes. She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at helping people move toward clearer priorities, improved mood, and greater coping capacity.
Mary welcomes those ready to take intentional steps toward change and works with them to tailor the process to their goals and circumstances.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often includes practical exercises and skill building to manage daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their own goals and values to guide change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact by combining guided memory work with bilateral stimulation techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist partners with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may combine techniques from different approaches over time as progress and priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home in Illinois, and maintain continuity of work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, client-centered dialogue, and EMDR-informed processing to remote formats so clients can pursue consistent, ongoing support.
