About Mary

Prof. Mary Streit brings an interactive, goal-oriented approach rooted in cognitive behavioral techniques and related therapies to help clients clarify priorities and make practical changes.

Background and approach

She frames sessions as a collaborative exploration, using questions and reflective exercises to help people surface patterns in thinking and behavior and identify concrete steps toward greater satisfaction.

With 11 years of experience as an educator, counselor, and life coach, she blends psychological insight with coaching strategies to address issues such as parenting, self-esteem, career decisions, relationship and family dynamics, coping with life changes, and women’s issues.

Mary works from a perspective that encourages openness and curiosity, prompting clients to reflect honestly about what matters and to try new ways of responding. Her style emphasizes actionable goals and forward movement so clients can move past obstacles and toward more fulfilling daily life.

She practices as a licensed psychologist in New York (NY Psychologist 013804) and offers services using a format designed to fit individual schedules and needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Prof. Mary Streit integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning, which can be useful for concerns like self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can move toward meaningful goals despite difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; Mary works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines elements from different modalities to create a practical plan, checking in regularly to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules. These formats allow for ongoing, flexible contact and make it possible to continue therapeutic work from wherever the client is located within the same region, while preserving the same interactive, goal-focused style used in her in-person work.
