My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I work collaboratively with clients to develop meaningful coping strategies, build resilience, and foster personal growth. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, workplace challenges, relationship dynamics, or processing past experiences, I'm committed to creating a supportive and affirming therapeutic space.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Wonderful
Mary is very respectful, understanding, and helpful. Highly recommend, she is very encouraging and responds quickly!
This was the first individual therapy session I have ever partaken in, and Mary Brown immediately made me feel comfortable. Any nervousness I had went away within minutes of speaking with her. And, more importantly, she completely understood my issues and was incredibly knowledgeable regarding how to address and work on them. She provided some useful material to help me work through things and improve myself as a whole. I will continue to work with her until I feel confident my issues have resided. She's trustworthy, kind, and clearly has excellent experience. I sincerely appreciate her for that.
Appreciated my therapist really listened to my concerns and gave me some different perspectives to consider
