About Mary

Mary Marks is a licensed clinical social worker who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or changes in their life. Her approach begins with building trust so people feel heard and understood.

Mary draws on several practical methods to address worrying thoughts and harmful habits. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her work when someone wants to clarify values and take steady action toward them. She pays attention to attachment issues and how early relationships shape current connections. Sessions include teaching simple mindfulness and self-care skills, practicing ways to reduce stress, and addressing sleep or eating concerns when they come up.

Mary also offers guidance around medication because she is familiar with psychotropic drugs and medication management. Her experience includes working with trauma, grief including pandemic and pet loss, and a range of identity and relationship concerns. She supports people coping with chronic illness, disability, body image struggles, and substance use issues.

Many clients find the combination of clear tools and compassionate listening helpful for making steady progress. Mary trained in psychology and clinical social work and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She accepts international clients and works with adults who want practical strategies and steady emotional support.

Online support

Approaches that shape online care

Mary commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence present-day connections, which can help with intimacy and communication struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another key approach she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and build alternative coping habits for anxiety, depression, or addiction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work; it focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small consistent steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each client to figure out which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone calls can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
