About Mary
Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in counseling. She works with adults who want to handle anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or problems rooted in past trauma. Jackie also supports people dealing with parenting strains, attention challenges, relationship stress, and substance concerns.
She begins by looking at what has helped clients before and bringing those strengths into current problems. Sessions often focus on identifying useful patterns from the past and testing small changes in thought and behavior. Clients might try new ways of thinking or acting that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by childhood and more recent trauma. She has experience helping people cope with grief, workplace conflicts, mood concerns, panic episodes, and difficulties that come with major life changes. Jackie also addresses attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and codependency-related patterns.
In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with practical tools. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused methods, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused approaches when they fit. The aim is to find concrete strategies that help clients manage symptoms and make choices they want to keep.
Jackie practices in Wyoming and conducts therapy in English. If someone wants to start, they'll follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches apply in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide which changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and moods affect each other and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safe ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can change as progress is made and different tools are tried.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can help you plan sessions around your schedule and choose techniques that translate well to remote meetings.
