About Mary
Mary Guillory is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She focuses on creating a calm space where people can say what matters to them. Mary listens first and works at the clients pace, helping them find practical steps forward.
She believes trust grows over time and that many people find it hard to speak about painful or confusing experiences. Mary uses simple language and steady support to help clients name feelings and notice patterns in behavior.
Background and approach
Her approach is gentle but direct when action is needed. Mary draws on several well established methods in her work. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each persons needs and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to help people move toward a life they value, even when distressing thoughts and feelings are present. Her practice has a practical bent.
Sessions often include small, doable experiments between meetings and straightforward skills to manage stress, mood, and overwhelming moments. Mary helps people who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and career or relationship stress. Mary has five years of clinical experience and practices in Texas.
She speaks English and offers work with people both inside the United States and internationally. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling once a fit is found.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then move toward actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and expectations and can be helpful when relational patterns or trust issues get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She starts with listening, then adjusts techniques so they feel useful and manageable rather than overwhelming.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt progress. The different formats also let clients choose a way of communicating that feels safest and most practical for them, while keeping the focus on steady, goal-oriented support.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
