About Mary
Mary Landers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Mary focuses on helping people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health and who are wondering what comes next.
In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them now. Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address overwhelming emotions, recurring worries, or the aftereffects of trauma. She aims to make conversations straightforward so clients can try new ways of coping and decision-making.
Her background includes years of direct clinical practice in Texas. That experience informs practical strategies for managing anxiety, processing loss, and navigating identity questions. Mary pays attention to patterns such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems so they can be noticed and worked on together.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, aging, blended-family stress, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture when these intersect with mental health. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and skills people can use between meetings.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and help people manage symptoms and make decisions. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress such as breathing, behavioral activation, and short cognitive strategies to reduce worry. Those techniques help when daily life feels overwhelming and tasks pile up.Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and difficult memories in manageable steps. This involves pacing discussions, identifying triggers, and building coping skills so past events cause less disruption to everyday functioning. A third strand of work addresses grief and loss with practical tools for adjusting routines and communicating needs to others.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Mary will work with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone avoid being on camera if that helps them participate more comfortably.
