About Mary
Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and people questioning life purpose after change. Mary also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward and flexible. Sessions focus on what helps the client move forward, and she adapts methods when something isn’t working. She invites feedback and stresses practical steps rather than abstract promises.
Mary draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to center the person’s goals, psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat, and solution-focused work to identify small, achievable changes. She also includes EMDR when trauma work is appropriate.
Her background includes a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and work as a grief and bereavement specialist in hospice care. She has experience with children and teens in community health settings, and with adults in private practice and support groups. Personal experience with a cancer diagnosis has informed her work with chronic and terminal illness.
In sessions, clients can expect clear communication about goals and plans. Mary describes therapy as a collaborative effort where practical skills and reflection are both used. She encourages honesty about fit and will discuss options if a different approach might work better.
How Mary uses therapeutic methods in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify what the client wants to change, which can be useful for stress, life direction, and relationship concerns.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used for trauma work. It combines focused attention with processing techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and can assist people coping with post-traumatic stress or past abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with the client to decide whether a client-centered, EMDR, psychodynamic, or solution-focused path fits best. That choice is based on goals, history, and how a person responds in early sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also let a person take part without full video when that helps them stay focused. Discuss practical scheduling and preferences with Mary when you set up the first appointment so sessions work with everyday responsibilities.
