About Mary
Mary Duhon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and depression. Mary also helps clients cope with life changes and focuses on issues such as body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety and phobia.
Mary uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She listens to what matters most to a person and then outlines manageable next steps. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve everyday functioning rather than rely on jargon or long explanations.
Her background includes two decades of work across settings helping people navigate loss and shifting life roles. That experience informs how she approaches grief and major life changes. She draws on methods that encourage clearer thinking and better coping during hard moments.
In session she helps people clarify communication patterns and practice different ways of relating. For those struggling with social anxiety and phobia she breaks down situations into small, doable tasks and practices. For relationship concerns she helps identify patterns that cause conflict and explores alternative responses.
Mary supports people who want steady, practical progress. She explains steps clearly and checks in often about what is working. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to see if the approach fits.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Mary draws on established, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors. Cognitive approaches involve identifying upsetting thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and negative self-talk. Behavioral techniques use gradual exposure and repeated practice to make feared social situations feel more manageable.She also uses practical coping skills that help with immediate distress. These include brief skills for calming physical symptoms, pacing activities to avoid overwhelm, and step-by-step plans for addressing difficult conversations. The therapist works together with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their goals and comfort level.
