About Mary
Mary Ringer is an LPCC licensed in New Mexico with 27 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and LGBT concerns. She also works with people facing relationship strain and sleep difficulties.
Mary uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She invites clients to talk through what is happening now and to notice how thoughts, behaviors, and routines affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the main approaches she uses to help break patterns that keep problems going.
Sessions focus on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings. That can include changing unhelpful thinking, testing out new behaviors, or adjusting daily habits that affect sleep and mood. She also addresses communication problems and feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Mary has worked with issues that often come up as people age, and she understands caregiver stress and the particular pressures it can bring. She supports people thinking about life purpose and the changes that come with different life stages.
People can expect clear conversation about what to try next and why. The goal is to make each session useful and to pick strategies that fit the person’s life and goals.

It breaks problems into manageable parts and tests small changes to see what helps, which can be useful for social anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss goals and try methods that match what a person wants to change. Decisions about techniques are made together so the plan fits daily life and real concerns.
