About Mary
Mary Ringer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in New Mexico with 27 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and LGBTQ related questions. She also works with sleep problems and related day-to-day struggles. Mary speaks English and practices from New Mexico.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. She helps people notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build small, practical habits that change how they respond to stress. Conversations are direct and focused on concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Mary often addresses problems that come with aging, caregiving strain, and isolation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, social anxiety, and communication breakdowns. Life purpose is a named focus, so clients who are rethinking work or meaning after a life change can bring those questions to the work.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Mary aims to make therapy a place to talk through feelings, practice new skills, and track progress over time. She asks about the everyday routines that shape mood and sleep, and helps people adjust those routines in realistic ways.

Cognitive Behavioral tools for online sessions
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down how thoughts, behaviors, and routines affect mood. CBT work includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing alternate thoughts, and building small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. This approach often helps with sleep problems by targeting habits and thoughts that keep people awake.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss your goals and preferences and together you decide which CBT techniques to use and when to try them. That collaborative selection helps keep sessions focused and practical rather than theoretical.
