About Mary
Mary Dziedzinski is an MA, LICSW practicing in Massachusetts with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Mary also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, communication problems, and workplace stress.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals rather than jargon. Sessions tend to center on what feels most pressing - coping with loss, managing overwhelming emotions, or finding motivation after a setback. Mary uses everyday language and direct reflection to help people sort through difficult feelings like guilt and shame.
Her background includes clinical work with people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and domestic violence survivors. That experience informs how she approaches sensitive topics and practical challenges that come up during change or caregiving roles. She also supports people working on forgiveness and repairing strained relationships.
Mary adapts discussion and planning to each person’s situation. She and the client set goals together and check progress as sessions continue. Therapy sessions aim to build clearer ways to respond to stress, improve communication, and increase confidence when tackling life transitions.
If someone wants to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and operates in English only.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Mary describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common method emphasizes structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; this helps people break problems into manageable steps and test small changes. Another approach centers on grief-focused coping and loss processing, offering ways to make space for strong emotions while rebuilding routines and meaning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans as therapy continues so the method matches the client’s situation.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care during life transitions or while managing caregiving duties. Ask about the session length and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire so the practical setup fits your routine.
