About Mary
Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people coping with stress and anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Mary describes her work as creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening day to day. Sessions often look at triggers, patterns, and small steps a person can try between meetings. Mary pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current struggles, including issues like abandonment, attachment, and codependency.
Mary also supports people facing health and caregiving challenges, chronic pain or illness, cancer, and aging or geriatric concerns. She addresses body image, communication problems, commitment issues, and concerns related to kink and alternative sexual culture. Autism and Asperger Syndrome are among the topics she has worked with in the past.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical shifts in daily life. Conversations tend to be direct and focused, with room to try new ways of responding to stressful situations. Mary emphasizes collaboration about goals and next steps.
People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.
How Mary uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Mary works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral style approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and social fears because it breaks problems into concrete steps to practice between sessions.Mindfulness-informed strategies are another thread of work that may appear in sessions. These involve simple attention practices and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase the ability to tolerate difficult moments. Such techniques often help with grief, trauma-related symptoms, and ongoing anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to find which techniques feel most useful in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. They can also let someone use shorter check-ins when needed or choose audio-only if video is difficult. Ask about the exact session formats offered when you set up the first appointment.
