About Mary
Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing low self esteem, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. She works with individuals who want practical tools and clearer thinking. Her style is direct and steady, aimed at helping people feel better and manage daily challenges.
With 45 years of experience, Mary draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and build trust. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking patterns that get in the way. She also uses mindfulness and dialectical skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Mary places special emphasis on trauma and its ripple effects. She explains how trauma can affect the nervous system and daily life so people understand what they are experiencing. That background knowledge is woven into sessions alongside hands-on skills for coping and problem solving.
She has long worked with people affected by addiction, grief, relationship strain, career stress, and caregiving burnout. Mary also has focused experience with first responders, veterans, and people facing complex medical or life changes. Her approach balances education, skill building, and compassionate listening.
