About Mary
Mary Clifford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and bipolar challenges. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Mary speaks English and brings eight years of professional experience to her work.
Mary uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions toward them.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity, and Motivational Interviewing helps when making difficult changes feels overwhelming. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person needs. Mary helps people break big problems into smaller, doable steps.
She also supports people through grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, and challenges related to addiction or relationship strain. She has worked with concerns such as first responder issues, gender dysphoria, end-of-life care, intellectual disability, obsessive concerns, paranoia, and personality disorder features. Mary explains options clearly and tailors plans to each person’s situation.
Practical matters are handled simply. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and subscription model, which can be canceled at any time.

How ACT and CBT work online with flexible session options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It focuses on learning to notice difficult thoughts and still move forward toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing the behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving concrete skills to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring more calm into everyday moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what should change so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options provide flexibility so people can keep progress moving even with busy schedules.
