Mary Cashman, LPC - Therapist in Connecticut

About Mary

Mary Cashman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 13 years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems that weigh on families and individuals, such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and family conflict. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for someone reaching out.

Mary creates a calm space where people can speak freely and feel heard. Mary uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

She often draws on client-centered work to prioritize whatever matters most to the client. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness-based strategies and solution-focused methods add practical ways to reduce stress and move toward realistic goals.

In sessions she helps people talk through feelings about loss, guilt, and aging. She also addresses tensions that show up between family members and in close relationships. The focus is on clear, doable steps people can try between sessions.

Mary offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different routines. Sessions are subscription-based and can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire guides the next steps toward scheduling.

Online approaches grounded in practical steps

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed agenda. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps clients steer sessions toward their priorities. It is useful for people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple, structured ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and low mood by giving clear techniques to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use one or a blend of methods that make the most sense. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits daily life and family routines.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to stay connected when travel or other demands arise. Mary adapts tools and exercises to work effectively through the chosen format, keeping the focus on progress and practical coping strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
