About Mary
Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Mary speaks English and practises in Texas.
Mary focuses on practical conversation and steady support. She helps people talk through difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions concentrate on what feels most pressing - for example shame about a relationship, worry after loss, or stress that affects daily life.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That can include learning ways to manage anxiety, processing painful events, and practicing clearer communication. She pays attention to how past attachments and experiences shape current responses.
Mary also addresses concerns that often sit alongside shame or guilt, such as abandonment fears, attachment issues, body image, and codependency. She works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and aging challenges, helping them name problems and make small changes that fit their life.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Mary helps people identify goals, test new ways of relating or thinking, and notice what does and does not work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Mary draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and manage distress. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Trauma-informed methods involve pacing the work, naming painful events, and building skills to tolerate strong emotions while processing trauma and abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan as things change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use those practical advantages to help therapy fit everyday life while focusing on concrete skills and emotional processing.
