About Mary
Mary Griffith is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.
Mary meets people who are struggling with stress, grief, addiction, sleep difficulties, and parenting strains. She also addresses intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and symptoms related to ADHD or bipolar conditions. Her work includes attention to family of origin issues and attachment-related themes when those come up.
Her sessions use clear, practical conversation. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people identify small changes to try between meetings. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy support managing thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build mindful acceptance of difficult feelings. Emotion-focused methods help people notice and name the feelings that drive relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed.
Mary aims to work collaboratively, helping each person set goals and track progress. She respects different identities and backgrounds and addresses concerns related to LGBT issues, adoption and foster care, aging, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and other life circumstances.
Practical next steps are straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to talk about current concerns and goals.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It can help when old family patterns make it hard to act in ways someone truly wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting methods as progress and challenges appear.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, enabling shorter check-ins on a day off, or allowing work around caregiving and job schedules. Licensed professionals can use different approaches in remote sessions just as they do in person, and Mary draws on ACT and CBT ideas when working with relationship and family of origin issues.
