Mary Holtom, CA Psychologist 31334

Mary Holtom is a California psychologist with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice includes support for social anxiety and phobia along with panic and trauma-related concerns.

She trained at the Rosemead School of Psychology and completed undergraduate studies at Azusa Pacific University. Her work has taken place in nonprofit settings, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient community mental health centers, a university counseling center, and online therapy. Those varied settings inform a practical approach to problems that often feel overwhelming.

In sessions she uses Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to balance attention to the present moment with useful insight about past patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people make concrete life changes. The methods focus on small, manageable steps rather than large, sudden shifts.

Mary prioritizes a collaborative relationship. She works with clients to identify patterns that no longer serve them and to try different strategies for change. Conversations aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to coping skills and real-world application.

People who struggle with panic attacks, mood changes, communication problems, or the effects of trauma may find the practical strategies she uses to be relevant. She accepts international clients and conducts work from California as a CA Psychologist 31334.
