About Mary
Mary Sanders, LCSW, CSW, has worked in clinical social work for 36 years and practices in Georgia. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addictions, or facing relationship and family problems. Anger is listed among the concerns she addresses, alongside depression, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Her background includes long experience with addictions and mental health concerns and many years working with family and couple dynamics. She describes a spiritual foundation in her approach but does not frame therapy as religious. She says she continues her own personal work and brings that perspective to clinical work.
Sessions tend to be collaborative. Mary aims to help clients recognize strengths, notice barriers, and practice new ways of relating. She emphasizes using time efficiently and setting concrete goals for change.
People seeking help for anger, impulsivity, control issues, codependency, or family conflict will find an approach that blends relational methods with skills work. Mary also lists focus areas such as caregiver stress, blended family issues, substance concerns, and grief. She works in English and accepts international clients.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mary commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s experience and priorities, helping people clarify goals and feel heard. EFT focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and is often used when anger is connected to attachment, hurt, or repeated conflicts. Motivational Interviewing helps with ambivalence and change readiness, which can be useful for substance concerns, impulsivity, or when someone struggles to follow through on coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining relational work, emotion-focused exercises, and practical skill-building across sessions.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-in meetings if needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people do skill practice in the settings where their problems occur. Mary’s clinical approaches lend themselves to conversation, emotional work, and short practical assignments that can be done between sessions, whether sessions are remote or in-person; confirm the exact delivery methods when scheduling.
