About Mary
Dr. Mary Torok is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and other concerns listed in her specialties. She supports adults on practical steps to manage day-to-day difficulties and build skills for harder moments.
Mary uses straightforward therapy methods that help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her approach when clients want work on values and meaningful action despite uncomfortable feelings.
Her background includes work in clinics, classrooms, residential programs, outpatient settings, and in-home support. That variety shaped her focus on clear tools, problem solving, and teaching skills clients can use between sessions. She has experience helping people with issues related to trauma, addiction, ADHD, and autism spectrum concerns alongside mood and anxiety difficulties.
Sessions often include practical exercises, brief skills coaching, and discussion about real-life steps to try between meetings. Mary also helps people find community and employment resources when those supports are needed. She emphasizes teaching strategies that make everyday tasks feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with uncomfortable feelings while still doing things that matter, useful for stress and ongoing worries.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try a few methods, and adjust based on how the client responds. That means goals, preferences, and practical needs guide what is tried over the first few sessions.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills in their everyday setting and then bring observations back to the session for discussion.
