About Mary
Mary Jacquet is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tension, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes and concerns around body image, caregiving strain, communication breakdowns, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and self-love.
Mary focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations. She works to build an environment where clients can talk about hard feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions are practical and meant to identify small steps that feel possible in daily life.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck and looks for ways to shift them. That can include trying new communication habits, practicing emotion management, and testing small behavior changes between meetings. Mary pays attention to what clients already do well and builds from there.
She encourages direct discussion of guilt and shame as they come up, connecting those feelings to current relationships and past expectations. The work often focuses on understanding why those feelings are strong and on choosing different responses in everyday moments.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People who want practical tools and clear next steps tend to find this style helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change patterns in thinking and behavior. One common approach is working on cognitive patterns - identifying unhelpful thoughts that fuel shame or guilt and practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce their grip. This helps when rumination and self-blame keep someone stuck.Another frequent focus is behavioral change - trying small, concrete actions between sessions to shift reactions and build confidence. These steps can relate to communication, setting boundaries, or managing anger in specific situations, and they give material to discuss in sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She pays attention to what feels doable and adjusts methods as needed so the plan matches daily life.
