Mary Aubrey

Mary Aubrey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with four decades of practice. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, angry, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. Mary listens to each person’s concerns and works with them to set clear, manageable goals.

She has experience in college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospital-based services, and private practice. That range means she is used to short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. Her background includes work with anxiety and panic, addictions, eating and food-related issues, grief, and family conflict.

Mary draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with psychodynamic ideas and family systems perspectives. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, finding immediate steps that help, and tracking progress over time. She pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices and feelings.

Conversations in sessions are collaborative. Mary asks about what matters to the person and what success looks like. Together they develop ways to cope with anger, communication problems, control issues, or caregiver stress. Progress is checked regularly so the work can change if needed.

She holds a Master of Social Work degree from Smith College School for Social Work and practices in Massachusetts as an LICSW. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change them; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small changes that move a person toward specific goals, which can be helpful when someone needs quick, actionable support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Mary collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Others like the ability to continue work when life circumstances change. Mary will discuss practical scheduling and format details during the intake so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
