About Mary
Mary Mauck is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of experience to sessions. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor conversations to each person's needs. Her style is respectful and direct, focused on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression.
She draws on several approaches to guide sessions, including Motivational Interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations often center on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable changes. Mindfulness and client-centered ideas also shape her work, helping people notice patterns and build new habits that feel doable.
Mary has worked with concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also has additional focus on first responder issues and veteran and armed forces issues. In practice she adapts tools and pacing to match each person's situation and goals.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include concrete strategies to cope with daily challenges and to practice outside sessions. The plan changes as progress is made.
Mary is licensed in Virginia and Florida as an LCSW, and she provides services in English. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build small, manageable steps toward those goals. It is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can set their own pace; this approach supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs and preferences. Goals and techniques are adjusted over time, so the approach evolves as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as available formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and offering more flexible timing. It can also allow a shorter check-in when schedules demand a quicker conversation or use less bandwidth when needed. Many people find that regular online sessions help them practice skills between meetings and keep momentum toward their goals. -
