Mary Landers

Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and LGBT-related concerns. Mary focuses on practical steps people can take when they feel uncertain about what comes next in work or life.

She invites straightforward conversations about the problems that feel most immediate. Sessions typically look at patterns that keep a person stuck, and at small changes that can reduce distress day to day. Conversations cover practical coping strategies for anxiety and grief as well as ways to manage the ongoing impact of past abuse or trauma.

Mary also supports people wrestling with relationship concerns such as attachment, codependency, communication, and commitment tensions. She works with people facing health and caregiving stress, chronic illness or cancer, and body image or identity questions related to kink, autism, or aging.

Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and clear, step-by-step work rather than abstract theory. She helps clients set modest, achievable goals and tracks progress in concrete ways. That makes it easier to notice change and to adjust plans if needed.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

How evidence-based work translates to online sessions

Mary draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses, which can lower anxiety and improve daily functioning. Trauma-informed methods focus on pacing, grounding, and rewriting the impact of past harm so it disrupts life less.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to keep appointments from different locations when life gets in the way of an in-person visit.
