Mary Hamm

Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, burnout, or major life changes. Mary aims to create an affirming space where people can talk through what’s getting in the way of feeling better.

She tailors sessions to each person’s needs and strengths. Mary uses clear, practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas. She also weaves in client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people make useful changes.

Her work includes supporting people with parenting stress, postpartum challenges, ADHD, and chronic stress. She pays attention to mood, sleep, eating concerns, and anger as they show up in daily life. Mary helps people reconnect with small, steady steps that build resilience over time.

Sessions often focus on skills to manage strong feelings, pacing through life transitions, and rebuilding routines that support mood and energy. She emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical strategies for coping. The goal is to help each person move toward a fuller sense of purpose and more consistent moments of joy.

Mary brings 16 years of experience to her practice. Her approach is collaborative; she works with each person to decide what feels most helpful. If someone is feeling stuck, she supports them in finding clearer direction and realistic next steps.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Mary often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based practices in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and strong emotions like anger.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. That approach is useful for coping with life changes, burnout, and chronic stress. Together these methods aim to create practical routines and moment-to-moment tools rather than only talking about problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She adjusts techniques as needed so the plan feels doable and relevant to everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also accommodate people who prefer doing mindfulness or behavioral practice from familiar surroundings while still focusing on clear skills and real-world changes.
