Mary Kent , LPC

Mary Kent is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the strain of life changes. Mary also supports clients coping with ADHD and issues common to women. She aims to create a calm space where people can take small, steady steps toward feeling more grounded.

Mary works in a gentle, collaborative way. Early sessions focus on listening to your story and identifying what feels most urgent. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and uses that information to help people notice patterns and build practical skills. Sessions are paced to match the client rather than rush through difficult material.

In the room she helps people track physical tension and emotional reactions. That can include short exercises to ease tightness, attention practices to calm the nervous system, and straightforward tools to handle overwhelm. The aim is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings.

Mary pays particular attention to attachment and communication difficulties, control issues, and struggles after separation or infidelity. She also supports people facing workplace stress, loneliness, jealousy, and challenges common to young adults. Forgiveness and self-love are regular themes in her work.

Therapy is framed as a practical collaboration. Mary helps set clear, realistic goals and checks in regularly about progress. People who want a compassionate, steady approach that connects feelings and body awareness often find her style helpful.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize awareness of the body and emotions. One common approach she uses focuses on somatic awareness - noticing body sensations linked to emotions and learning small exercises to release tension and reduce reactivity. This can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. Another frequently used approach centers on client-centered listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies goals, and works at a pace that feels manageable. This helps with relationship concerns, self-worth, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will help you identify what methods match your needs, goals, and comfort level. She encourages a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on how they feel and whether they are helping you make steady progress.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and you want a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep continuity between meetings.
