About Mary
Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and mood disorders.
She keeps sessions conversational and focused on practical next steps. Conversations look at current patterns and the thoughts that keep them going. Mary uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal values and deeper relationship patterns. For people with traumatic memories, she integrates EMDR techniques alongside other methods when appropriate. The aim is to reduce distress and increase clarity about what matters now.
Mary prefers to work collaboratively. She listens to what each person says matters and adjusts the pace to match readiness for change. Sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
Her approach is practical and grounded. She helps people explore next steps after job changes, relationship endings, health shifts, or other life transitions. The emphasis is on finding clearer direction and manageable actions rather than quick fixes.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. It helps people clarify their values and priorities by letting them lead the conversation while the therapist offers supportive feedback. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and finding structure after change.EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) targets distress linked to traumatic memories by combining focused memory work with guided bilateral stimulation. It is used for trauma-related symptoms and can be integrated alongside CBT and other approaches when appropriate. These methods are described and tried collaboratively so the right mix can emerge over time.
Mary will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is made together, based on symptoms, life context, and how someone responds to early sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they can fit into your routine.
