About Mary
Mary Fiumara is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress, eating concerns, or low self esteem. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
Mary concentrates on the thinking patterns and communication habits that keep problems stuck. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try different ways of coping, and practice clearer communication. Topics she often addresses include body image, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, and trouble navigating midlife changes.
Sessions tend to be collaborative, with Mary guiding people to set small, realistic goals. She supports clients in building routines and skills they can use between visits. This approach is aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Mary brings long experience working with those facing women’s issues and young adult concerns, and she is attentive to the experiences of gay individuals as part of her practice. She meets people where they are and tailors her work to each person’s needs and pace.
Located in California, Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people strengthen self-understanding and improve emotional well-being. Her goal is practical change: better coping, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of self.
