Mary Boyle, LMHC, LPC - Therapist in Florida

About Mary

Mary Boyle is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with thirty years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting struggles, and issues around self-esteem. Mary also addresses relationship and LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, bipolar disorder, and career or life transitions.

Her tone is caring and direct, and she listens for the practical steps people have tried so far.

Background and approach

She begins sessions by asking about current symptoms and daily coping strategies. Mary also asks about living situation and family of origin to understand patterns that affect how clients feel and act. She explains things plainly and helps clients set concrete goals for change.

Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic ideas, among others. Mary tailors methods to each person rather than using one fixed style. She may focus on thoughts and behaviors, or on past relationships that shape current choices.

Mary has worked in community mental health and independent practice, which gave her experience with a wide range of needs, including long-term and complex conditions. She is based in Florida and provides services in English. With a practical, compassionate stance she helps people sort immediate problems and plan next steps.

She asks clients to attend scheduled sessions and notes a ten-minute late policy. For safety, she recommends more intensive in-person care if someone has had suicidal thoughts in the past year.

How Mary’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. Mary listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life adjustments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. Mary uses CBT techniques to teach practical skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice between meetings.

Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring patterns that come from past relationships and family history. Mary may gently explore these patterns to help clients understand how past events affect current choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary works collaboratively to decide what fits the client’s needs and goals. She adjusts methods as progress is made and as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care while traveling or managing family demands. The variety of formats allows people to choose how they communicate and to practice new skills between sessions.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
