About Mary

Mary Vietmeier is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She brings a person-centered, holistic stance that considers physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions when working with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her background in nursing and later training in counseling and theology inform an integrated view of health and meaning, helping clients explore life purpose alongside symptom relief. Mary blends practical therapeutic tools with a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence to help individuals facing life transitions, chronic illness, caregiver burdens, or intimacy and communication struggles.

She uses an eclectic mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques as well as attachment-based and client-centered methods to promote insight, coping skills, and clearer choices. Sessions tend to emphasize collaborative exploration and building resilience through real-world strategies and reflective work.

Clients who value a therapist attuned to both emotional and spiritual concerns may find her background especially relevant. She typically prefers working with individuals and favors video sessions to capture nonverbal cues, and aims to help people gain clarity, stronger self-understanding, and renewed hope as they navigate their challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Mary commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Attachment-based work examines relational patterns and emotional needs that shape how people connect and respond to stress, which can be helpful for intimacy, communication, and long-standing relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences, and life context to tailor methods that fit your situation, combining evidence-informed techniques and client-centered listening to find what helps you most.

Online formats offer flexibility that can support consistent progress. Mary offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels, schedules, and accessibility needs. These options make it easier to work on coping skills, process emotional material, and maintain momentum between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
