About Mary
Mary Redding is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people cope with major life changes, manage stress and anxiety, and improve relationships and family dynamics. Her work often centers on practical steps families and individuals can use right away to feel steadier.
She uses a mix of well-established approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions often include ways to notice thoughts and values, build clearer communication, and learn new coping skills for strong emotions. That practical focus can help with parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, or feeling overwhelmed after big life events, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Mary pays attention to where each person is starting from. She listens for patterns from family of origin, attachment issues, and caregiving stress, then helps set small, manageable goals. Work can include building self-esteem, addressing anger, or sorting through relationship and commitment questions.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful rather than abstract. Many people use sessions to practice communication skills, plan for life transitions, or reduce day-to-day anxiety.
People who reach out should expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools to try between sessions. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment and then discuss the pace and focus that suit them.
Online approaches that match your needs
Mary uses several practical approaches often suited to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize how they connect with others and practice different ways of relating, which can ease relationship and parenting tensions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel fitting. Sessions can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports steady work on communication skills, emotion regulation techniques, and planning for life transitions without promising a specific outcome.
