About Mary
Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and challenges tied to career and ADHD.
Mary uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people map small, manageable changes. Sessions often include skills practice, thought work, and experiments to test new behaviors between meetings.
Her work pays attention to identity and life context. Mary supports people from LGBT backgrounds and those dealing with trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. She also helps with concerns related to attachment styles, autism or Asperger traits, and a range of personality or co-morbid issues.
Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches are used to reduce reactivity, strengthen emotional understanding, and build concrete coping strategies.
People who prefer clear, practical guidance tend to fit well with her style. Mary works collaboratively to set goals, practice new responses, and track progress over time. International clients may be accommodated, and sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anger or avoidance is tied to painful feelings or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that fuel reactivity and testing practical alternatives. CBT helps with workplace frustration, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can be helpful when strong emotions feel overwhelming and steadying skills are needed.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Mary will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what strategies feel do-able. Together they set priorities and try approaches that match the client's needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is tracked.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and support skill practice between sessions. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow shorter mid-day check-ins, while others let clients use video for face-to-face work - choose the option that best fits daily routines and comfort.
