About Mary
Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are weighed down by anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Mary aims to create a respectful, affirming space where clients feel heard and understood.
Mary centers sessions on each person's story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, practical steps they can use between meetings. Conversations often include skills for coping with worry, improving sleep, managing anger, and addressing addictive patterns.
Her work also addresses intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar mood patterns. Mary pays attention to how culture, identity, and life stage shape a person’s experience. This helps her tailor conversations to what feels relevant and realistic.
In sessions she combines person-centered attention with structured tools. That means people get calm, empathetic listening plus clear techniques to try. Many clients focus on building better communication, increasing self-esteem, and handling job or career pressures.
Mary welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including those in the LGBT community and international clients. She practices in Mississippi and works with adults facing complex, overlapping concerns. To begin, she encourages people to take the first step toward a more manageable, meaningful life.
How Mary’s approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and big life decisions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and validating a person’s experience so they feel understood and can make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with worry, sleep, and mood management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will discuss goals, try different tools, and adjust based on what helps most. She works with each person to match techniques to their needs and preferences rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people join from different locations, which helps those living outside Mississippi or internationally. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your daily routine.
