About Mary
Mary Taylor is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in behavioral health. She has worked in emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient treatment settings. Mary helps people who are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, or stuck in relationship and family patterns, including those with social anxiety and phobia.
Her work focuses on relationships and the nervous system. She pays attention to how early attachment and current relationships shape reactions to stress. Sessions include talking through patterns and learning practical skills that can improve day-to-day functioning.
Mary draws on attachment-based ideas alongside mindfulness and body-centered somatic approaches. That combination means she looks at thoughts and feelings, and also at bodily responses like tension or panic. She helps people notice those signs and try simple practices to calm or shift them.
Her background across emergency, inpatient, and outpatient care gives her a broad view of crises and longer-term concerns. Mary describes the work as collaborative: she and the person set goals and figure out what strategies fit best. An initial consultation is used to see if the approach and goals align.
People who struggle with panic attacks, mood shifts, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career stress, or compassion fatigue may find this style relevant. Mary asks people to consider how patterns show up with partners, family, and others as part of building change.
Approaches used and working online
Mary uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and in feelings that come up in social situations.She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to make small changes in how someone notices thoughts and sensations. Somatic therapy is used to help people recognize bodily signals like tension or panic and to try gentle, body-focused practices that can reduce intense sensations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods and goals fit best. She will review options during an initial consultation and adjust plans as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online work can be helpful for fitting sessions into a busy week, shortening a check-in when time is limited, or avoiding travel. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and somatic practices to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
