About Mary
Mary Dziedzinski is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage symptoms and move forward.
Mary has helped people facing loss and transitions, and she also addresses issues related to aging, caregiving stress, and workplace difficulties. Her caseload has included concerns such as codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also works with people dealing with hoarding, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and questions about life purpose.
In sessions she adapts the conversation and treatment plan to what each person needs. Expect straightforward talk about what feels most urgent, then a plan with small, manageable next steps. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in how she listens and responds.
Mary often focuses on building motivation and confidence. That can include examining patterns that keep someone stuck, practicing new ways to communicate, and learning coping skills for strong emotions. She also supports practical problem solving around caregiving or workplace stress.
People commonly come for help after a job change, a loss, or when they feel directionless. She asks about immediate goals and day-to-day routines, then works with the person to set realistic targets. The aim is to create options and skills that fit ordinary life.
Approaches and how online sessions support change
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and depression through behavioral strategies and short exercises that reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning. Another approach targets grief and life transitions by helping people make sense of loss, set immediate goals, and try manageable steps forward to restore routine and purpose. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels helpful, adjusting techniques over time, and agreeing together on the focus for sessions. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session 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 that suits the day. They also let people keep appointments during transitions such as a work change or caregiving period. Ask about the formats offered so you can choose the option that fits your routine and comfort.Areas of expertise
