About Mary

She focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Jackie aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
She begins by noticing what already works in a person's life. Jackie looks for strengths and habits that can be used again.
Background and approach
She also helps clients identify patterns from the past that may be getting in the way now. Jackie often uses practical strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors. That might mean trying small changes that produce visible results.
She works with people facing attention challenges, mood disorders, panic, and addiction-related concerns. Parents are a frequent focus, and Jackie supports people dealing with the stress of caretaking and the challenges of raising children. She also assists those coping with loss, relationship strain, or workplace problems that cause major stress.
Her background includes extensive work with trauma from childhood and recent events, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and domestic violence survivors. Jackie takes a respectful, individualized approach and helps clients create realistic steps toward the life they want. People who choose Jackie can expect a calm, steady style that centers their goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your own goals and strengths. The therapist listens carefully and helps you build on what already works in your life. This approach is useful when you want a supportive, person-led process to sort priorities and find small steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and habit patterns that cause daily problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie will talk with you about your goals and suggest options based on what you need. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if something else fits better as therapy progresses.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you have more in-depth, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick support between sessions, or a way to connect when a shorter touchpoint is helpful.
These options provide flexibility for different days and needs, and they let licensed professionals deliver consistent care without requiring the same travel or time commitments as in-person work.
