About Mary
Mary Vietmeier is an Ohio LPCC with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and career or purpose questions. She also helps people coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.
Mary trained first as a registered nurse and later shifted into mental health after a back injury changed her career path. She completed counseling studies at Ohio State University and holds the LPCC credential in Ohio. Mary also completed a Master of Divinity and served as a hospital chaplain, supporting people facing serious illness and end-of-life challenges.
Her work is grounded in person-centered practice that considers physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. Sessions emphasize understanding what’s happening in a person’s life, clear conversation about values and choices, and practical steps to reduce distress. She uses a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotion-focused tools to address relationships, mood, and coping.
Mary typically meets with individuals and prefers video sessions because most communication is nonverbal. She does not usually provide family or marriage counseling, addiction services, or ADHD treatment, though she may make occasional exceptions based on circumstances. International clients are not accepted.
People who come when they feel stuck or unsure about direction often focus on clarifying values, improving communication, and finding manageable next steps. Mary aims to help clients see options more clearly and build practical habits for daily life.

How Mary applies therapeutic approaches online
Mary commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and interaction styles and can help with intimacy, communication, and trust issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adapt methods so they fit the client’s needs and circumstances.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm available options before booking. Mary stated a preference for video because nonverbal cues matter, which can make conversations about relationships and emotion clearer. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, require less travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight. For practical details about formats and scheduling, confirm current session options during the matching and booking steps.
