Mary Aubrey, LICSW

Mary Aubrey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 40 years of practice. She has worked in college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospitals, and private practice. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by relationship or family issues, or coping with loss and life changes.

Mary listens to what the client notices about their own experience. She asks about thoughts, feelings, and how problems get in the way of daily life. Together with the client she sets clear goals and tracks progress so sessions stay practical and focused on what matters now.

Her experience includes anxiety and panic, depression, addictions, eating and food-related issues, post-traumatic stress, family conflict, grief, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, codependency, communication, control issues, and midlife questions.

Mary uses a mix of approaches depending on the problem and the person. That includes cognitive behavioral work to spot and change unhelpful thinking and patterns. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship themes, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps forward.

Her background across campus, community, crisis, and hospital settings has shaped an approach that balances practical tools with attention to longer-standing patterns. People who prefer clear goals, steady tracking, and straightforward conversation about relationships and coping often find her style a good fit.
