About Mary
Mary Snyder is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting strains, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Mary describes counseling as a collaborative effort where the client is the expert on their own life and the counselor brings observations and methods that can help.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors that increase stress, practicing simple mindfulness skills to calm the body, and setting small steps toward clearer boundaries or goals. She also draws on longer-term talking methods when problems are more complicated.
Mary's background includes work in community counseling centers, foster family services, and counseling on military installations in the U.S. and Germany. That variety informs how she adapts session length and focus depending on whether someone needs short-term problem solving or deeper exploration. She aims to offer clear observations, honest feedback, and coaching when useful.
People who come for help often want practical ideas they can use between sessions. Mary helps people notice what gets in the way and test changes that fit their life. She guides goal-setting and supports follow-through without telling clients what they must do.
If someone is unsure where to start, she begins by listening closely to the current problem, then suggests a few concrete steps to try. The focus is on usable strategies for coping with life changes, navigating difficult relationships, and reducing patterns like people-pleasing or getting lost in others' crises.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Mary often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in the room. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping someone clarify their own priorities and choices. It is useful for people who feel uncertain about what they want or who are tired of being told what to do.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT breaks problems into small parts and tests practical changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and make it easier to notice habitual responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary treats that as a collaborative discussion. She will talk about goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. This lets the client and therapist choose methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect is part of the first appointment so plans match everyday routines.
