About Mary
Mary Redding is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi with 36 years of experience. She works with adults facing family and relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and the stress of big life changes. Mary also addresses issues like parenting strain, codependency, anger, and low self-esteem.
She uses straightforward conversation to sort out what is getting in the way. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings - for example, ways to manage strong emotions, notice patterns that keep you stuck, and try different responses. That practical work is mixed with time to understand how family history and attachment shape current choices.
Mary draws on a few well-established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear tools for handling intense emotion. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence trust and closeness now.
Clients can expect direct, plain talk about patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or getting drawn into someone else’s crises. The aim is to increase awareness and build habits that reduce overwhelm and resentment. She also brings experience with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, and blended family concerns.
Her work suits people who prefer practical steps alongside reflective conversation. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session to see if the approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Mary commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It helps when someone wants to shift patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into step-by-step experiments so you can test new ways of reacting and reduce anxiety or depressive thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they feel in everyday life, and adjusting as needed in collaboration with the client.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography did not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone or video sessions help them practice new skills in real settings, while others prefer a different arrangement; the therapist will discuss practical options when you schedule.
