About Mary

Prof. Mary Streit uses a practical, interactive approach to help people make changes that matter. She combines straightforward conversation with focused exercises.

She encourages clients to try simple steps between meetings.

Background and approach

That makes progress feel concrete instead of abstract. Clients can expect a mix of gentle challenge and practical planning. Mary draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

She also uses client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice what matters and act on it. Motivational interviewing is added when people need clearer direction or a nudge toward change. She often focuses on parenting and family topics as well as women's issues and self-esteem.

Sessions also cover career decisions and relationship concerns. The goal is to work toward clearer choices and manageable next steps. Mary commits to a supportive, respectful tone and a collaborative pace.

She frames progress as small experiments rather than one big leap. That helps reduce overwhelm and keeps the work doable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Prof. Mary Streit commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to shift results.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's perspective and pace. That means the therapist listens closely and adjusts interventions to fit each person's goals. Together they decide which approach or combination feels most useful based on needs, preferences, and what the client wants to achieve.

Online work offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow real-time conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions remove the need for video and can be easier when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused support. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice new skills where life happens.

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.

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.
