About Mary
Mary Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Mary also addresses codependency and related concerns such as abandonment, family of origin issues, isolation, and feelings of emptiness.
Mary uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps: clarifying what matters, naming unhelpful behaviors, and practicing ways to set limits and protect personal time. She invites clients to use their own strengths during that work.
Mary talks through past events and current stressors that keep repeating in relationships or work. She helps people name guilt, shame, and the pulls that make them put others first. The aim is to increase clarity about choices and to try small changes that feel manageable.
Her background includes work with trauma, sexual assault, immigration-related stress, and caregiver strain. That experience informs how she responds to burnout and repeated relationship patterns. Mary keeps the session focused and practical, helping people test new ways of acting between visits.
To begin, she asks clients to describe immediate concerns and goals so sessions address real problems quickly. The therapist supports planning short steps clients can try and then reviews what worked. Over time the focus can broaden to deeper family patterns or long-standing beliefs about worth and belonging.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Mary draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on present problems and practical change. One approach helps people track thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood, then tests small changes to see what shifts. Another method focuses on processing trauma and its effects so current reactions and relationship patterns become easier to recognize and manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to pick methods that match current goals, symptoms, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as short-term goals are met or new issues come up.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. If you plan to work online, consider how therapy can fit into daily life - shorter check-ins on a busy day, sessions that avoid travel time, or scheduling around work breaks. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to the online format so progress continues between visits.
