About Mary
Mary Yost is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in New Hampshire with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in day-to-day life.
Mary draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people notice and change patterns that come from their family of origin and childhood relationships. She uses techniques that address thoughts and behaviors, explore attachment patterns, and emphasize values and committed action. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused.
Her work includes help for people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, body image concerns, and the challenges that come with aging. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, substance use issues, codependency, and problems with communication or commitment.
Mary often blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and values-based strategies. She also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationship roles still influence current choices. The practical aim is clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and more reliable patterns in relationships.
People who choose her commonly want concrete skills they can practice between sessions. To begin, she asks about current struggles, goals, and any obstacles to making changes. Prospective clients are invited to confirm session formats and scheduling details when they arrange their first appointment.
How Mary applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, emptiness, and problems with commitment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people understand closeness, boundaries, and communication in adult relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision guides what happens week to week and what practices to try between sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or letting people choose sessions that suit their energy level. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice for remote sessions to keep progress steady.Areas of expertise
