About Mary
Mary Dziedzinski is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Mary also has experience with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and workplace or communication problems.
In sessions she uses clear, practical conversation to help clients sort through what feels overwhelming. Mary listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, such as people-pleasing or trouble saying no. She helps clients name difficult feelings and try small, manageable changes to daily routines and relationships.
Mary adapts the pace to what each person needs. Some people start by talking through recent losses or a current crisis. Others work on building confidence, setting boundaries, or changing how they respond to stress. She also supports people facing end-of-life or hospice planning and the emotions that come with caregiving.
She describes her approach as evidence-based and goal-oriented, focusing on steps that can be practiced between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. Mary encourages realistic experiments in social situations and at work to test new ways of relating.
If a client is unsure where to begin, she helps identify a first small goal and a simple plan to get started. Mary works in English and practices in Massachusetts.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches for online work
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, balanced ways of interpreting situations. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking. Another approach concentrates on behavioral change by setting small, achievable goals and building new habits. That method helps with motivation, stress, and improving daily routines.Choosing the right method is part of the work itself. Mary collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on how well the strategies are working for the client.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people try conversational and behavioral experiments between meetings and review what worked in the next session.
