About Mary
Mary Katherine Lickteig is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of practice in Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, grief and loss, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and a calm presence.
Mary Katherine aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or adult looking for change. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then tailors conversation and a treatment plan to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that fits each client's needs and comfort level. Practical options and small goals are part of how she works through problems. Mary Katherine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and relationship concerns.
She helps people understand patterns, build coping skills, and manage symptoms so daily life feels more steady. When grief or loss is central, she attends to both practical adjustments and emotional processing. For parenting questions she offers clear, situation-focused discussion rather than abstract advice.
She helps parents explore strategies that can be tried between sessions and adjusted as needed. For bipolar disorder the work includes symptom management, routines, and communication strategies that support stability. Every plan is individualized and revisited over time.
Mary Katherine encourages straightforward feedback so the work stays relevant. She welcomes conversations in English and works with clients across borders when appropriate.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Mary Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change and symptom management. One common approach she employs helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practices new, more helpful responses; this is useful for mood symptoms and relationship stress. Another technique emphasizes coping skills and routines to stabilize mood and manage bipolar symptoms, including practical steps to structure daily life.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She starts by listening to your goals and concerns, then suggests strategies to try. Together you review what works and adjust the plan so it fits your needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are available when a camera is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
