Mary Taylor, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Mary

Mary Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in behavioral healthcare. She has worked in emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient settings. Mary draws on that background to help people find practical steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She pays attention to how the nervous system and attachment patterns shape feelings and relationships. Sessions focus on identifying repeated patterns and then building simple, usable skills to change them.

Background and approach

Mary uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current bonds. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to bring gentle awareness to difficult emotions. Somatic work helps people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body and learn ways to regulate those sensations.

This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and family concerns, and other mood or panic-related issues. Mary also supports people coping with career stress, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, anger, and life transitions. An initial consultation is offered to see if the approach fits your needs and goals.

The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress rather than labels or judgment.

How attachment, mindfulness, and somatic work translate to online therapy

Mary uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings. Online sessions bring those conversations into focus by noticing how you relate and respond to others in your life. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build present-moment awareness of thoughts and feelings through simple practices that can be taught and practiced during a video or phone session.

Somatic Therapy centers attention on bodily signals and teaches ways to ease tension or overwhelm. Even when meeting remotely, a therapist can guide breathing exercises, grounding moves, and gentle awareness of physical sensations to help reduce panic or chronic stress responses.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to needs, goals, and comfort level. That means adjustments over time and checking in about what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options let people connect from home, use short check-ins when needed, and keep momentum between longer sessions.

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.

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.

Somatic Therapy

Works with what the body is doing - tension, breath, restlessness - as much as with what you say about it. Guided attention to physical sensation can be done from your own space.
