About Mary

Mary Yost is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 29 years of practice. She works with adults on depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.

Mary focuses on clear, practical work. She listens to what feels stuck and helps people name patterns that get in the way. Conversations often include learning new ways to handle strong emotions and practicing different ways of communicating in close relationships.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose values-based action. Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy shape how she attends to connection and the safety needed to try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Mary has helped people through addiction recovery, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the fallout of separation or divorce. She also works with issues linked to adoption and attachment, body image, and the challenges that come with aging. Sessions center on concrete skills, realistic problem solving, and deciding small next steps.

Practical matters are part of her work. Mary uses an ongoing subscription model for sessions that can be canceled any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session using the provided online options.

How Mary integrates therapy approaches for online work

Mary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small meaningful steps, even when uncomfortable thoughts are present. ACT often helps with feelings of emptiness, low motivation, and decisions about purpose.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems like depression or problematic substance use going. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Mary will discuss which methods make sense based on the client's goals, present problems, and how they prefer to work. She adjusts focus over time so sessions match emerging needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and practical scheduling is arranged after the short matching questionnaire and initial booking.
