About Mary
Mary Stinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, evidence-informed care. She aims to help people stop repeating painful patterns and make clearer choices when stress is high. Her style is direct, grounded, and compassionate, with an emphasis on strengths and education.
Mary draws on 15 years of clinical experience and current brain research to explain how feelings, impulses, and behaviors get wired. She uses straightforward language to show why we sometimes make the worst decisions when under stress.
Background and approach
That explanation helps people see patterns rather than blame themselves. In sessions she combines approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and EMDR to address trauma and intense reactions. She uses these methods to reduce symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors, and to address relationship and communication problems.
Mary also works with grief, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment wounds. She assists people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her work includes support around first responder concerns, divorce and separation, and body image.
Her approach is collaborative and educational. Sessions focus on practical strategies, skill building, and understanding how the brain and body respond to stress. Mary aims to help people make different choices and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Online support
How targeted approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape reactions. In online sessions this can look like exploring how you relate to others, noticing repeated interaction patterns, and practicing new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, stress, and problem-solving in daily life. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge; it can be adapted to remote formats when appropriate.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. Sessions often mix strategies so people gain both insight and practical skills rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and demonstrations of skills, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing work between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping treatment consistent and goal-focused.
