    About Mary

    Mary Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of practice in New York. She focuses on trauma and abuse, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and attention and focus concerns often labeled as ADHD. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and meets people with direct, respectful support.

    Mary keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters most and helps people break larger problems into smaller steps. Her style draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective.

    For people recovering from traumatic experiences, Mary brings approaches that can reduce the intensity of distress and make difficult memories easier to live with. For workplace stress and compassion fatigue she helps people identify limits, build coping routines, and plan next steps for career decisions.

    When attention and focus are a concern, she works with clients to develop strategies for daily tasks, organization, and task management that match each person’s life. Narrative Therapy is used to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their choices.

    Mary aims for clear, collaborative sessions. She encourages questions and small experiments between meetings. To begin, follow the site’s sign-up flow and complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can proceed according to the therapist’s availability.

  2. How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

    Mary often uses Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation in small steps. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and creates space for people to set the agenda and pace.

    She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need tools for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. DBT skills help with distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can be useful for workplace stress and compassion fatigue.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and life situation. She will discuss options and try small experiments to see what helps most.

    Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into a busy day, and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online care can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in everyday routines.
