About Mary
Mary Vietmeier is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. Mary also addresses career questions, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns.
She trained first as a nurse and later completed counseling education, blending medical, mental health, and spiritual perspectives. Her background includes work in nursing roles and chaplaincy experience, which informs how she listens to people in hard circumstances. Mary prefers individual work and typically uses video sessions to pick up on nonverbal signals.
Mary uses approaches drawn from attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused methods. In sessions she helps people name what feels most pressing, notice patterns in relationships and behavior, and try small changes to test what helps. Her style is straightforward and practical.
She often supports people dealing with abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related distress, family of origin issues, and end-of-life or hospice related matters. She does not usually provide family or marriage counseling, addictions work, or ADHD treatment, though she may make rare exceptions.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and the process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Mary works in English and does not accept international clients.
How Mary uses her approaches in online sessions
Mary commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions to others, which can help with fear of closeness or repeated relationship problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. She approaches this collaboratively and adjusts methods based on what the person prefers and what seems to help in real time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Video sessions are typically preferred because they capture nonverbal cues that inform the work, but confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular hour sessions that fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
