About Mary
Mary Huckaby is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and mood concerns. She works with adults aged 18 and up and aims to make sessions clear and practical.
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person's situation. Sessions often focus on making small changes that add up over time. Conversations cover coping skills, communication, handling panic or depressive episodes, and dealing with relationship and attachment concerns.
She also addresses related issues such as abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, and problems with control or forgiveness. Practical steps and real-world strategies are part of the work to improve day-to-day functioning and reduce overwhelm.
Mary brings two decades of clinical experience from practice in Missouri. Her approach centers on collaboration - she and the person in therapy decide together what to try and how to track progress. The aim is steady, achievable improvement rather than quick fixes.
If someone is dealing with isolation, midlife questions, or managing panic attacks, she helps organize treatment into manageable goals. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and attention to how life circumstances affect mood and relationships.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching simple breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure strategies to reduce intense symptoms. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they set small, clear goals and review progress so adjustments can be made as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Mary about how sessions will be arranged and which methods are best suited to your situation.
