Mary Cole, LPC

Mary Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, mood problems, and relationship patterns. Her style is warm and interactive, with a focus on small changes that add up over time.

Mary emphasizes skills people can use in daily life. She teaches emotional regulation to reduce intense mood swings and grounding tools to ease panic and anxiety. She also helps people notice and change avoidant or codependent patterns that undermine relationships.

Sessions blend practical skill-building with reflective conversation. Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed distress, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action toward them. Client-Centered conversations create a supportive space for people to talk through painful experiences and traumatic memories.

She offers structured plans when goals are clear, and a gentler, exploratory pace when people need time to process. Topics often include self-worth, boundary-setting, communication problems, grief, workplace stress, and parenting challenges. Mary also works with issues such as panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, and compassion fatigue.

With 15 years of experience, she aims to help people feel more secure in themselves and their choices. New clients begin with a focused conversation about what matters most, then build practical steps they can try between sessions.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Mary commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Client-Centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive listening stance that helps people feel heard while they process emotions and make changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques so they fit each person's life and timing. She adjusts the mix of practical skill-building and reflective talk as the work unfolds.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
