Mary Snyder, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Mary

Mary Snyder is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style and aims to help parents and adults make practical changes. Sessions focus on clear steps and useful ideas rather than telling someone what to do.

She listens first to understand what’s happening in a person’s life. From there she offers tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are available when deeper patterns or motivation are part of the work. Mary has worked in community counseling settings and with families in a variety of environments. Her background includes supporting people through depression, grief, addictions, and life transitions.

She also addresses communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and concerns that come with aging. In sessions she combines short-term problem solving with longer-term exploration when needed. That can mean setting concrete goals, practicing new ways to cope, and examining patterns that keep repeating.

The tone is nonjudgmental and practical, with attention to what will fit each person’s life. Mary practices in Ohio and provides services in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to pair people with a therapist and session times that work for them.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Mary blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and helps people name what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change reactions, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Mindfulness work teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that help with emotional regulation and daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist begins by understanding goals, preferences, and the specific struggles someone brings. From there Mary recommends options, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan so it fits each person’s life and schedule.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work commitments, practice skills between meetings, and check in when issues arise. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured CBT exercises, guided mindfulness practices, motivational conversations, and ongoing support without requiring travel.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
