Mary Griffith , LPC

Mary Griffith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people through major life challenges. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. Mary aims to offer steady, respectful support while clients take steps forward.

Her work centers on listening first. She pays close attention to each person's story and values. From there she helps clients set small, practical goals and build coping skills that fit their life.

Mary uses a mix of well-known methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered conversation. She draws on these approaches to help people manage symptoms, handle big changes, and repair relationship patterns.

She also addresses a wide range of concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and work burnout. Mary supports people from LGBTQ backgrounds and those facing complex health or caregiving demands.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear suggestions, strategies to try between meetings, and a focus on what matters most to them. Mary practices in Mississippi and meets with people in English, including international clients when arrangements allow.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions so clients can move toward what matters, even with anxiety or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build routines that ease depression, sleep problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan is adjusted as progress is made so the therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face when time or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick ways to share thoughts between meetings or to have therapy without being on camera. These options help therapy fit into a busy life and make steady progress more achievable.
