About Mary
Mary Yost is a licensed counselor who draws on nearly 29 years of practice to help people facing depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She uses down-to-earth language and steady support to guide people through hard moments. Her work centers on helping clients build clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, and healthier intimacy over time.
She blends several practical approaches when meeting with someone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and make small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in noticing thoughts and reconnecting with what matters most. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections.
Mary also uses client-centered listening to make room for each person’s story. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotional regulation and coping with distress. These methods are chosen to match the needs of the person in front of her rather than following any single method.
Her background includes work with people managing addiction, recovery from relationship rupture, body image and self-worth issues, and stress from caregiving or chronic illness. She has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Sessions emphasize practical tools and steady support. People can expect straightforward conversations about goals, small steps to try between meetings, and adjustments over time. Mary practices in New Hampshire as an LCMHC and holds experience across many life stages and transitions.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Mary uses several evidence-based methods that translate well to conversations over video or phone. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take committed steps toward what matters. This can be useful for depression, low self-esteem, and finding purpose after loss.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often includes practice assignments and skill-building between sessions, which can be tracked and adjusted remotely.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating. This approach can inform work on intimacy, communication, and recovering from relationship ruptures.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking.
