About Mary

Mary Taylor-Ennis is a Psychologist licensed in Maryland with 26 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and self-love.

She listens for the practical patterns behind strong feelings. Sessions look at what keeps difficult emotions going and what small changes might ease daily life. Conversations include concrete coping steps, ways to rebuild self-regard, and clearer thinking about relationships and obligations.

Mary draws on two decades of clinical practice to guide people through specific challenges. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name feelings, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice new responses. Faith and personal values may be part of the work when clients choose to bring them up.

Her approach aims to make emotional problems easier to manage rather than turn them into medical labels. She helps people build coping skills for transitions, caregiving strain, and long-standing guilt or shame. The focus is on what can be changed now and how to do it in everyday life.

People who come for forgiveness work or guilt and shame work will talk about past choices, current obligations, and ways to live with or repair what matters. Mary supports practical steps for moving forward and clearer decisions about relationships and responsibilities.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and help people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Interventions that teach coping skills and behavioral experiments give concrete practices to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change responses to guilt or shame.

Mary also integrates value-based work that helps people clarify what matters to them and choose actions that align with those values. This kind of work can be useful when decisions about relationships, forgiveness, or caregiving responsibilities feel stuck. She will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and try adjustments when something is not working.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make regular weekly contact easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or caregiving days stay manageable. Therapists and licensed professionals often find that remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while testing therapeutic tools between meetings.
