About Mary
Mary Griffith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, and coping with major life changes. Mary also works with issues such as sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Mary frames therapy around listening and helping people name the emotions that get in the way of daily life. She uses straightforward talk therapy to identify patterns, notice how feelings show up in the body, and try small changes that can improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions emphasize practical skills as well as understanding the roots of painful feelings.
Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and some Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. That mix lets her move between focusing on emotions, building specific coping skills, and exploring values and commitment. She matches techniques to what each person needs in the moment.
Mary is experienced working with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, attachment-related worries, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and intimate or sexual concerns such as BDSM and kink. She also supports people facing career stress, burnout, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Sessions are offered in English and Mary accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mary uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name the emotions that drive interaction patterns. EFT is useful when relationship patterns or attachment-related feelings are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and learning small actions that move behavior toward those values, especially when stress or anxiety gets in the way.Mary also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflection. These approaches are applied collaboratively - she will work with clients to decide which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. Figuring out the right approach is part of the early sessions and happens together, not assumed in advance.
Practical benefits of online work often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online options can make shorter check-ins or regular weekday sessions simpler to manage.
