About Mary

Mary Skinner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, and grief. She works with adults on self-esteem, stress, parenting challenges, career questions, and life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims for practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Mary uses an integrative, person-centered approach that keeps the client in the lead. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and finding small, doable changes.

Background and approach

She mixes straightforward tools with deeper reflection so progress can happen in day-to-day life. Her work draws on ideas from Jungian therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she pays attention to personal meaning, thought patterns that get in the way, and the relationship in the room.

She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential perspectives when helpful. With ten years of clinical experience, Mary brings practical experience working with addictions, bipolar disorder, grief, caregiving stress, and issues around gender and sexuality. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Mary aims to reduce shame and help people build coping skills that fit their lives. Mary practices in Florida and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support

Approaches and how online therapy fits

Jungian therapy pays attention to personal symbols, life stories, and meaning. It can help people who want to understand recurring life patterns and explore deeper questions about identity and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete techniques to test and change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values and goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. That exploration is ongoing and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a more traditional session feel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs while working with a licensed professional.
