Mary Redding, LCSW - Therapist in Mississippi

About Mary

Mary Redding is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of practice in Mississippi. She uses clear, practical methods to help people facing family and parenting challenges as well as stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth.

She focuses on what can change now and how to get there. Mary often begins by listening closely to what matters most at home and in daily life.

Background and approach

She helps people name problems and try small, doable steps. Sessions aim to improve communication, manage strong emotions like anger, and build steady coping skills for work and family demands. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses relationship issues, self-esteem, ADHD, and challenges tied to adoption, blended families, or aging relatives. Mary combines practical strategies with attention to how family patterns affect feelings and choices. Therapeutic methods she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques for changing thoughts and actions, attachment-focused ideas to improve closeness, and acceptance-based tools to handle hard feelings.

She adapts these approaches to each person rather than using a single fixed plan. Mary aims to make therapy useful and understandable. She works at a pace set by the person in front of her and focuses on small wins that add up.

People who want straightforward guidance for family or life changes often choose her approach.

Online approaches that fit family and life demands

Mary uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful reactions. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her work and focuses on improving closeness and trust in relationships by looking at patterns that formed early and how they show up now. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers tools for noticing hard feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and make choices based on each persons goals, family context, and what feels doable. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats let people connect from home, coordinate around caregiving or work, and keep progress moving even when life gets hectic. Mary uses the online options to offer consistent, flexible support that aligns with each persons daily life.

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.
