About Mary
Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns. She works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what they are facing. Mary aims to support people who want more balance and relief in daily life.
In sessions she listens carefully and helps clients name what matters most to them. She focuses on practical steps people can take between appointments. Conversations can cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to handle grief, and approaches to process past hurt.
Mary also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, and body-image concerns. She has worked with clients affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, and complex, overlapping challenges. Her experience includes LGBT issues and helping people navigate trauma and abuse.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions while tailoring the work to each person. The therapist encourages collaboration so clients shape goals and pace. Her background in Texas informs her local perspective on care and resources.
Mary invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling process. This initial step helps determine whether her approach fits a client’s needs before moving forward.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in clear, practical ways. For example, short-term cognitive methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These approaches help people notice thoughts that make stress worse and practice different responses.She also uses trauma-informed strategies that emphasize safety and pacing when people are working through past abuse or loss. That work often centers on building coping skills, grounding practices, and gradual processing so feelings feel more manageable over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly about progress and adjusts the plan when something is not helping or when priorities shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Mary during the intake steps to choose a session style that best fits your routine and comfort.
