About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, burnout, or major life changes. Mary aims to create an affirming space where clients can name what’s hard and take small steps toward feeling better.
She uses a client-driven approach and adapts sessions to each person’s needs and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices are part of her work, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing techniques.

Mary has 16 years of clinical experience and particular familiarity with ADHD, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, postpartum challenges, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses coping with natural or human-caused disaster when this is part of a person’s story.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools: noticing unhelpful thinking, building small routines, and practicing present-moment skills. The goal is to reconnect with what matters and take manageable steps toward recovery. Mary encourages curiosity, steady progress, and realistic goals.
Her style is empathetic and straightforward. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace when working toward change.
How Mary’s Approaches Fit Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry, low mood, or life changes get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful habits and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness-informed therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can ease chronic stress and burnout.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, circumstances, and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
