Approaches that focus on thoughts and habits

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and behavior. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge those thoughts, and practice alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems.

Another approach she draws on concentrates on building and reinforcing small daily habits. Sessions break goals into step-by-step tasks and track progress over time, which can help with addictions, ADHD-related routine difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to see what feels doable and adjusts techniques to match their goals, preferences, and life demands. Together they try methods, review what helps, and change the plan when needed.
