About Mary
Dr. Mary Jane Preece is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, self-esteem issues, and major life changes. Her areas of focus also include trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, career stress, and codependency.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help with meaning and staying present.
Her style is practical and goal oriented. She helps people build clearer boundaries, manage overwhelm, and practice new habits between sessions. Work might include short experiments, thought records, or skill practice to reduce anxiety and increase control over daily life.
Dr. Preece has worked across workplace stress, caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, and parenting stress. She also addresses family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems that keep people stuck. Her experience includes supporting those dealing with grief, chronic illness, and the fallout from domestic violence.
People who come to her often want help with codependency patterns such as people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships. She explains patterns plainly and helps clients try concrete changes. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them. It is useful for people who feel lost in relationships or want someone who will follow their lead and make space for their concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It gives practical tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, provides specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with anger, overwhelm, and patterns that feel like putting others first at the expense of personal needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Preece will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the session options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days or provide more flexible timing without needing to sit in traffic.
