About Mary
Mary Slaton is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, sleep, parenting and career concerns. Her list also includes life purpose, body image, communication problems, and workplace issues among other focuses.
Mary frames work around goals and practical change. She pays attention to different life areas - social, spiritual, love, self, and work - to spot patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions look at what already helps, and how to build those strengths into other parts of life.
Her approach combines techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work, and psychodynamic ideas that consider past patterns. In practice this means talking about current problems, testing new ways of responding, and noticing recurring themes that affect mood and choices.
She encourages people to set reachable goals and to try concrete steps between sessions. Conversations often include problem-solving, communication skills, and experiments to shift daily habits. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
Mary asks people to select the See online therapy options button to begin. The intake uses a short matching questionnaire and then allows scheduling of a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical problems such as sleep or workplace stress. The Gottman Method is used for relationship-focused work and centers on communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding connection. Psychodynamic ideas are used to track recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current choices and feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is reassessed over time as needs and aims evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions connect around work or family commitments. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while trying out new strategies in daily life.
