About Mary
Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 45 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Mary also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people worried about caring for others at their own expense.
Mary uses a blend of practical approaches in sessions. She explains what is happening in the body and mind when trauma or chronic stress are present. She teaches skills for managing strong emotions, handling cravings or urges, and communicating more clearly with others.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and educational. Mary offers clear explanations about things like PTSD and how the nervous system responds to threat. She works to help people build a toolkit of coping skills they can use between sessions, including grounding, mindfulness, and thought-reframing techniques.
Her background includes long experience in addiction and trauma settings and work with first responders and veterans. Mary has expanded her practice to include preparation and integration work alongside more traditional counseling methods. She sees residents of Colorado and uses her years of practice to adapt methods to each person’s practical needs.
People who struggle with putting others first, difficulty saying no, or living around another person’s crises may find her approach relevant. Her style emphasizes learning, skill-building, and practical problem solving to help people regain clearer boundaries and steadier daily functioning.
How sessions work
How Mary uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience without imposing a plan. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with the client to pick approaches based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The therapist’s profile does not specify which session formats she currently offers, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more manageable. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use less bandwidth when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to remote sessions so skill practice and check-ins remain practical and focused on daily functioning.
