About Mary
Mary McDaniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also addresses sleep problems, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, and life purpose questions.
Mary focuses on practical steps people can use when life feels stuck after a job change, separation, a health event, or other transitions. She listens for patterns in relationships and attachment, and helps people notice what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping strategies alongside longer-term adjustments.
Her style draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods. She helps people recognize existing strengths and work toward clear, achievable goals. Mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused work are used when helpful to address past harm and reduce overwhelming symptoms.
Mary pays attention to issues that often come with complex family histories, such as adoption, foster care, abandonment, and attachment concerns. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control struggles, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s needs. Mary invites clients to experiment with new ways of relating, communicating, and managing strong feelings. That approach can include short-term problem solving or deeper work on long-standing patterns.
How Mary uses therapeutic approaches online
Mary commonly integrates attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That approach helps when people notice repeated problems in close relationships or struggle with trust and closeness.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people describe their goals so practical steps can follow.
Mindfulness techniques are brought in to manage overwhelming emotions and reduce reactivity. These are short practices and attention skills that can be used between sessions to handle stress or sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then adapt methods in collaboration with the client.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments because they remove travel time. Others prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or a calmer setting is needed. Mary will discuss which format best fits practical needs during the initial scheduling conversation.
