About Mary

Mary Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and self esteem concerns. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use right away.

She draws on several ways of working in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. Mindfulness practices are used to anchor attention and reduce reactivity. Mary also uses client-centered and trauma-focused approaches when those fit a person's needs.

Mary trained for her master’s degree in social work at Aurora University in Illinois and holds LCSW licenses in Illinois and Montana. She has worked in schools and community settings, including time on the Blackfeet Reservation, and now lives and practices in Indiana. That range of settings shaped her practical style and ability to adapt to different life situations.

In sessions she notices patterns in relationships and family dynamics, then helps people try small changes to improve daily life. She pays attention to how stress affects sleep, eating, and mood, and works with clients to build routines that support recovery and resilience. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Mary often supports people facing life transitions such as postpartum challenges, end-of-life caregiving, or career changes. She also has focused experience with first responder issues, gender dysphoria concerns, seasonal mood changes, and recovery after sexual assault or other trauma.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experience. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and shaping session pace to the individual's needs. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities or values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses clear exercises and homework to change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT is practical for people looking to change daily habits and reactions.

Mary treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about what feels useful and try different techniques to see what works best. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, or reflective conversation.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and worksheets during the session, making it simpler to practice new skills between meetings.
