About Mary
Mary Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in behavioral health. She has worked in emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient settings, and she draws on that background when helping people sort through hard moments. Mary focuses on practical steps that can improve daily life and relationships.
Her style is relational and steady. She pays attention to how the nervous system and attachment patterns shape feelings and behavior. Sessions are collaborative - Mary helps people notice repeating patterns and then practices skills to change them.
Mary uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships. She brings mindfulness into sessions so people can learn to be present with strong emotions without getting overwhelmed. Somatic work is used to notice how the body holds stress and to build tools for calming the nervous system.
This approach tends to fit people who feel anxious, disconnected, numb, or stuck in relationship cycles. Mary also helps with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and intimacy-related concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She addresses attachment issues, mood disorders, panic, and social anxiety as part of that work.
Mary offers an initial consultation to see if the approach feels right. The first meetings focus on understanding patterns and setting practical goals. From there she and the client decide what steps make sense.
How attachment, mindfulness, and body work translate to online therapy
Mary uses attachment-based work to trace how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach looks at how people relate to others and helps identify repeating dynamics in close relationships.She brings mindfulness into sessions to build simple habits of noticing thoughts and emotions without getting swept away. Mindfulness skills are taught step by step and can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears.
Somatic therapy focuses on sensations in the body and how stress shows up physically. Learning to track breath, muscle tension, and other signals gives practical tools for calming the nervous system and reducing overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. They review progress together and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness and somatic exercises in real-life settings where those skills are most useful.
