About Mary
Mary Kivett is a Florida LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, grief, parenting strains, and relationship or family concerns. Mary also works with issues tied to codependency, communication problems, career pressure, and life changes.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, conversational way. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Mary uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work alongside client-centered listening. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong feelings and attention challenges.
Sessions tend to emphasize skills people can use between meetings. That can include small behavior changes, ways to notice thought patterns, and brief experiments to test new communication habits. Mary helps clients practice setting boundaries, handling guilt and shame, and stepping back from people-pleasing or reactive behavior.
Her background includes work in public education where she supported adolescents, adults, and families. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, fatherhood issues, and young adult transitions. The Florida LMHC credential is listed to show licensure status in Florida.
People who appreciate direct feedback and concrete steps often find her style useful. Sessions mix listening with active problem solving and goal work. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match practical needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's own goals and experiences. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify what matters most in their life. This is useful when someone needs a clearer sense of priorities or help sorting feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions use simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low self-esteem, and patterns like people-pleasing that someone wants to change.
Mindfulness tools teach brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with overwhelming emotions, impulsivity, and attention challenges linked to ADHD.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit goals, pace, and comfort level. That may mean trying a practical CBT exercise one week and a mindfulness skill the next to see what helps most.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling rhythm and session length will work best for day-to-day life.
