About Mary
Mary Banks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with four years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also helps people facing attachment concerns, codependency patterns, caregiving stress, and substance-related problems.
Mary uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and develop clearer ways of coping. Sessions focus on concrete skills and straightforward conversation rather than jargon. She aims to help people set sensible boundaries, manage worry, and regain a sense of control over everyday life.
In therapy she pays attention to how relationships shape thoughts and behavior. That includes exploring abandonment worries, attachment issues, and how caregiving strains affect mood and choices. She also supports people working through divorce, grief, or the emotional fallout from another person’s drinking or impulsive acts.
Mary describes her work as collaborative and goal-focused. She helps clients test small changes, practice new reactions, and track what works. Progress is measured in real-life shifts such as being able to say no, reducing panic or rumination, or cutting back on substance use.
Her LPC credential is held in Oklahoma and Texas. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and the subscription-based fee structure used for appointments.
How sessions work
How her evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Mary describes her approach as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. Cognitive-behavioral style methods look at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teach practical tools to reduce worry and change unhelpful habits. Work that focuses on attachment and relationship patterns helps people notice how early or current bonds influence responses to conflict, abandonment fears, and codependency tendencies.Finding the right fit is treated as a team effort. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels workable. This collaborative process helps identify which interventions to use and when to shift emphasis toward coping skills, boundary practice, or addressing substance use patterns.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular check-ins and to practice skills between meetings. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and how the subscription fee applies.
