Dr. Mary Fawcett , LPC

Dr. Mary Fawcett is a licensed professional counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She has worked as a counselor, educator, and supervisor and brings that background into practical sessions. Her work often centers on women's issues alongside a broad range of life concerns. She speaks English and uses everyday language to make therapy straightforward and approachable.

Her style is warm, respectful, and interactive. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on labels. Dr. Fawcett listens first, then helps build a plan that fits each person's goals and pace.

She commonly helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with depression and grief, and navigate relationship and intimacy-related questions. She also supports those facing career changes, parenting strain, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, and multicultural or immigration-related stresses.

Therapy draws on practical tools such as cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to break unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods guide conversations so clients can find their own priorities and next steps.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Dr. Fawcett helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of thinking, and try small changes between meetings. This approach suits someone who wants clear, actionable support for real-life problems.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their goals. Online sessions let the therapist listen carefully and reflect back what matters most to the client, so goals and priorities emerge naturally.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work this often includes setting specific tasks between sessions, trying new behaviors, and reviewing progress over video or messaging.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. These exercises translate well to video or phone sessions and can be practiced throughout the week.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on goals, comfort level, and what helps in early sessions. That choice can shift as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, shorter check-ins, or tracking steps between sessions. Together these options offer flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life.
