Mary Hamm , LCSW

Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression. As a licensed clinical social worker, she is trained to assess emotional needs and provide therapeutic strategies to help clients navigate difficult life moments and regain a sense of balance.

She works with individuals facing major life transitions, parenting and postpartum challenges, and those who feel disconnected from joy or weighed down by persistent worry. Mary offers an affirming environment to explore what may be holding someone back and to consider practical steps toward healing.

Mary uses an eclectic, client-driven approach, tailoring each session to a person’s strengths and goals. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, trauma-focused practices, and yoga-informed strategies for mood and emotional regulation. She also brings substantial experience supporting people with ADHD and chronic stress.

Rather than promise quick fixes, Mary focuses on rebuilding present-moment awareness, strengthening resilience, and identifying meaningful actions that help life feel more grounded and hopeful. She believes fulfillment is available to many and aims to accompany those who feel stuck or unseen as they find their way forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Care

Mary integrates several therapeutic approaches suited to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to improve mood and functioning; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for burnout, chronic stress, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to ensure the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive care from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
