Mary Landers , LCSW

Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBT-related concerns, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and depression. Mary combines practical, evidence-based methods with a compassionate, person-centered approach to support lasting change.

She works to create an open and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Her practice also addresses a range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, blended family challenges, and other life transitions that affect emotional wellbeing.

Mary views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey. She helps clients identify goals, build coping skills, and develop strategies that fit their values and daily life. With an emphasis on empowerment and resilience, Mary guides people toward greater clarity, adaptive coping, and more fulfilling relationships while respecting each person’s unique identity and experience.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Mary utilizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns she treats. Trauma-informed approaches focus on helping clients process distressing experiences at a manageable pace and build safety and regulation skills; these methods are well suited for people coping with abuse, post-traumatic stress, or complex trauma. Skills-based interventions teach practical strategies for regulating anxiety, reducing stress, and improving mood, offering concrete tools clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adapt techniques so the work remains relevant and effective for the client’s life circumstances.

Online therapy with Mary is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access support from the comfort of one’s home while working toward meaningful change.
