About Mary

Mary Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in behavioral health. She has worked in emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient settings. Her background gives her experience helping people through high-stress and crisis moments as well as longer-term struggles.

Mary takes a relational approach that looks at how early bonds and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. She blends attachment-based work with mindfulness and somatic methods to help people notice physical signals, feel more grounded, and change patterns that no longer serve them. Sessions are conversational and practical. The focus is on learning skills that can be used in daily life.

She often helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected. Common concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship and family challenges, and trauma and abuse. Mary also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy-related worries, eating issues, panic, social anxiety, and career stress.

Mary describes her style as warm and collaborative. She pays attention to the nervous system and invites clients to notice how feelings show up in the body. Together with each person she maps patterns and tries out small changes so progress feels manageable.

An initial consultation is offered to see if the approach feels like a good match. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How Mary uses attachment, mindfulness, and the body online

Mary works from attachment-based and mindfulness approaches alongside somatic ideas to help people notice patterns in relationships and the body. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can help when relational patterns cause stress or anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, useful for anxiety, panic, or overwhelm. Somatic therapy focuses on bodily sensations and movement to help people regulate their nervous system and respond differently to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary listens to each person's history, goals, and comfort with different methods and then suggests ways to combine these approaches. She checks in regularly to adjust techniques so they fit the client's pace and needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people practice skills between sessions in their daily routines. Licensed professionals can use mindful exercises, body awareness practices, and relational reflection effectively in remote sessions, and Mary will work with each person to find what fits best.
