About Mary

Mary Morgan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana. She brings seven years of direct clinical experience, and she focuses on practical help for everyday problems. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.

Mary uses simple, action-oriented methods in sessions. She relies mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means talking through thoughts and behaviors to find more helpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also teaches mindfulness and coping skills tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. Mary asks about goals, looks for existing strengths, and helps people try new ways of managing hard emotions.

She aims to make tools easy to use between sessions so progress can continue at home. Her background includes work as a counselor and in mental health administration, and she has presented nationally on grief, caregiver burnout, and coping with cancer as a young adult. That experience shapes how she supports people facing health, caregiving, or end-of-life concerns.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking and camping in Montana and the Pacific Northwest. Mary welcomes practical conversations about goals and next steps when someone is ready to begin therapy.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Mary primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is hands-on and works well for stress, low mood, and practical parenting or relationship problems.

She also incorporates mindfulness skills to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. These techniques support emotional regulation, managing grief, and reducing caregiver burnout when life feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mary talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then adapts techniques that fit. This collaborative process helps find what feels most useful rather than following a fixed plan.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, phone sessions can be used on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick ways to check in or practice skills between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can keep progress steady despite a hectic life.

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.
