About Mary
Mary Knight is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anger, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She brings 34 years of experience and a steady, practical approach to conversations about stress and relationships. Her style is calm and straightforward, focused on everyday solutions that fit a person's life.
Mary creates a respectful space where people can name what feels hardest. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. Her background includes long-term clinical work in Texas supporting people through loss, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and substance concerns. That history informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person's situation.
Mary draws on methods that emphasize values, behavior change, and present-moment awareness. In session she mixes talk with practical exercises. Clients learn ways to manage intense feelings, communicate more clearly, and rebuild confidence.
The work is collaborative and paced to what feels doable in everyday life. People who reach out can expect clear options and straightforward tools for coping. Mary aims to help people find steadier footing, better daily routines, and a clearer sense of purpose as they move through difficult seasons.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with anger, loss, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills for everyday problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports emotional regulation and stress management.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the situation. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework exchanges, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
