About Mary
Mary Griffith is a licensed professional counselor with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Mary works in Mississippi and offers services in English to domestic and international clients.
Her approach is direct and compassionate. Sessions aim to identify what feels stuck and build clear, manageable steps forward. She uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people cope with intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Mary also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to how emotions shape connections and internal experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles help clients clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values. Client-centered methods keep the client’s perspective central in every session.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and issues related to sexual identity. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and commitment or intimacy questions. In sessions Mary emphasizes straightforward coping tools, emotion awareness, and step-by-step skill building.
People meet her for short-term problem solving or for longer work on deeper patterns. Starting therapy typically involves a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session to talk about goals.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that fit into online care
Mary uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and work with the emotions that shape their relationships and inner life. EFT focuses on identifying patterns of feeling and interaction, which can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and grief.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches practical steps to clarify personal values and take action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for clear skill-building to change habits of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety, depression, or sleep disruption.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods, and then shape a plan that fits their needs. That process is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teachable moments with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between sessions or an option for people who prefer written communication. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, travel, or differing comfort with being on camera.
