About Mary
Mary Huckaby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience in Missouri. She works with adults 18 and up and addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments. Conversations aim to make problems clearer and identify doable changes that reduce overwhelm.
Mary often helps people who struggle with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. She also supports people facing abandonment or attachment issues, caregiving stress, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife concerns are also areas she addresses.
In session she will talk through recent events, patterns in relationships, and responses to stress. Work may include practicing coping strategies, testing small behavioral changes, and reviewing what worked and what did not. The intent is steady progress through clear, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Mary asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the practice uses a cancellable subscription payment option. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Approaches you can expect online
Mary uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and selects approaches that fit the person and the problem. Cognitive-style techniques help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding to social stress and anxiety. These methods are useful for panic, worry, and low mood by teaching specific skills to test and change thoughts and behaviors.Behavioral strategies focus on small, planned changes in what a person does. For social anxiety and phobia this might mean gradual exposure to feared situations, step by step, while tracking what happens and adjusting the plan. For trauma-related symptoms the clinician may use structured practices that reduce symptoms over time through repeated, manageable tasks.
Choosing the right combination is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to recommend a path forward. Clients and therapist adjust approaches as progress is observed so the plan fits real life.
