Mary Cole , LPC

Mary Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She offers a warm, interactive style that blends practical skill-building with compassionate support, guiding people to understand their emotional patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.

With a focus on emotional regulation, attachment concerns, and self-worth, Mary helps clients identify unhelpful patterns such as people-pleasing, impulsivity, or avoidance, and replace them with clearer boundaries and more confident decision-making. Her work includes techniques to manage panic symptoms, mood shifts, and stress while also addressing grief, compassion fatigue, and workplace issues when they arise.

Mary uses a structured yet person-centered approach that incorporates mindfulness and evidence-based practices to teach grounding skills, reshape relationship dynamics, and strengthen self-love. Many clients leave feeling more empowered, understood, and equipped with greater self-awareness. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, she combines clinical training with a collaborative therapeutic relationship to support meaningful, lasting change.

Her practice emphasizes practical tools alongside self-exploration so clients can build resilience, foster secure connections, and move forward from patterns that no longer serve them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Mary integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and accept difficult thoughts or feelings while taking meaningful action toward a more fulfilling life. ACT can be particularly helpful for people struggling with persistent worry, avoidance, or low motivation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic symptoms, mood disorders, and situational stress by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected as they explore their concerns. Mary works together with each person to determine which approaches fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mary is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These options make it easier to access consistent support, try different communication styles, and integrate therapeutic techniques into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists to reach personal goals.
