About Mary
Mary McDaniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or grief. She also supports people coping with trauma, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and questions about life purpose.
Mary focuses on building on strengths people already have. She listens with warmth and respect and works together with clients to identify what gets in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at creating small, usable steps clients can try between meetings. Her style uses Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, centers each person’s experience, and looks for concrete changes that help now.
Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques are added when they fit a person's needs. Mary often helps people sort through issues like abandonment, codependency, caregiving stress, communication problems, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care. She also addresses ADHD-related impulsivity, isolation, guilt, and shame in straightforward ways that families and individuals can understand.
In sessions she aims to create a collaborative space where clients feel heard and can practice new ways of coping. Her goal is to support realistic progress toward greater calm, clearer relationships, and more satisfying daily life.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on attachment and practical change
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and reactions, helping people notice connection habits and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and self-understanding. Solution-Focused Therapy targets specific, realistic goals and helps clients identify small steps that lead to noticeable change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with clients about their goals, concerns, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when video isn't possible, live chat allows for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact and reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to use approaches like mindfulness practices and solution-focused tasks in everyday life.
