About Mary

Mary Jo Greenwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience based in Wyoming. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her practice includes issues such as sleep and eating concerns, addiction, parenting stress, and codependency. Sessions are driven by what each person needs in the moment.

Greenwood trained at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has worked across inpatient psychiatric care, group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient settings. She has extensive experience in child welfare and juvenile services and has supported parents of abused and neglected children. Her background also includes work with military veterans and practical knowledge about navigating VA processes.

She uses a trauma-informed lens and aims to consider the whole person rather than only symptoms. Her approach is eclectic and client-centered, meaning she adapts methods to fit what is working for the individual. She helps people build a treatment plan that can change as life and needs change.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior methods when they fit a person's goals. That can mean talking through patterns in relationships, practicing skills to reduce anxiety, or trying new ways to manage strong emotions.

Her style favors clear, practical steps and gradual exposure when needed. She often supports people who begin with messaging or phone conversations and later move to more involved sessions as comfort grows. The focus is on usable strategies to improve daily functioning and relationships.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to look at those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and track changes over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this often means setting small behavioral experiments, practicing coping strategies between meetings, and reviewing progress together. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness; these skills can be guided in a session and practiced in daily life. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT exercises, shifting to attachment-focused conversations, or blending techniques as needs change. The profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter phone check-in at lunch, messaging steps between appointments, or a video session when a longer conversation is needed. These practical choices help people maintain progress without adding extra travel or scheduling strain.
