About Mary
Mary Taylor is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in behavioral health. She has worked in emergency rooms, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient settings across Texas. Her path through varied clinical roles shaped a practical, steady approach to helping people move forward from hard moments.
Mary focuses on noticing the patterns that keep people stuck and teaching concrete skills to change them. She uses ideas from attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic work to help people reduce overwhelm and reconnect with others.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday language so goals stay practical and clear. Her style is warm and relational. Mary pays attention to how the body and nervous system respond during stress as well as how those reactions show up in relationships.
She aims to make therapy feel steady rather than clinical, so people can try new ways of relating without feeling judged. People often seek her help for anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and anger. She also works with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, eating issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Mary is comfortable addressing panic, mood concerns, attachment difficulties, and social anxiety. An initial consultation is used to see whether the approach fits a person’s needs and goals. If it feels like a good match, she and the client build a plan together with clear steps to practice between sessions.

Attachment, Mindfulness, and Body-Based Work Online
Mary uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns shape current relationships. This approach helps people notice repeated ways of relating and practice new responses that feel safer and more effective.She also uses mindfulness practices to bring attention to thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Mindfulness can help reduce anxiety and make day-to-day coping more manageable by building simple skills for staying present.
Somatic therapy connects attention to bodily sensations with emotion and behavior. By noticing tension, breath, and movement, people can learn practical ways to calm their nervous system and respond differently to stress or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial expressions and body language. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a video setup isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins or shorter, frequent touches between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while still using attachment, mindfulness, and somatic tools effectively.
