About Mary
Mary Slaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. She approaches therapy with a belief that people can increase self-awareness and make meaningful changes. Her style emphasizes guidance and encouragement while you set and pursue the goals that matter to you.
Mary helps people notice patterns across areas of life such as work, relationships, self, and spirit. She uses that information to identify what already brings satisfaction and what could be shifted. Conversations are focused on finding alternatives and building steps that match your life and priorities.
With about 20 years of experience, Mary brings steady clinical background to common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, career questions, parenting pressures, and issues around identity and self-worth. Addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and workplace challenges are also within her focus areas.
Her practice includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and psychodynamic techniques that look at patterns formed over time. She blends methods to fit what a person needs rather than using a single fixed model.
Mary works from Texas and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Mary’s Methods Translate to Online Work
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to guide many sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to create small, testable changes that lower stress and improve mood. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and repair relationship patterns when that is a focus.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see recurring patterns that come from earlier life experiences. That approach is useful when someone wants to understand why they repeat the same responses in work or relationships. Mary discusses and adapts these approaches with each person so the plan matches goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a workday. A therapist will help decide whether longer weekly sessions or briefer touch-base meetings are a better fit for your goals.
