Mary Cole , LPC

Mary Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive style and a calm presence for people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and women's issues. Mary keeps sessions focused and practical so clients can start using new skills right away.

Mary helps people identify patterns that cause pain and replace them with healthier choices. She guides clients through emotional regulation skills to manage mood swings and distress. She also works on relationship patterns and communication so people can feel safer and more connected in their relationships.

Mindfulness and grounding tools are part of her work to reduce anxiety and bring attention back to the present. She also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-worth, codependency, and compassion fatigue. Sessions include concrete strategies and chances to try new behaviors between appointments.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. That means Mary combines clear, evidence-informed techniques with a focus on each person's goals and values. She encourages self-exploration while keeping an eye on practical next steps.

People who come to her often want to strengthen boundaries, stop people-pleasing, or find a clearer sense of life purpose. Mary aims to help clients build resilience and confidence so they can make choices that match their values and live with more ease.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online work

Mary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice hard thoughts and still act in line with their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and finding clearer life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another part of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens - offering empathy and support while clients name their goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and aligned with the person's values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to get support between sessions or to handle brief updates and tools. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, and daily life.
