Mary Ellen Cullity, LCSW

Mary Ellen Cullity is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of practice in New Hampshire. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make usable changes rather than only talking about problems.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and to try small behavioral shifts that can ease symptoms. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to support people who want a compassionate, listening-focused space to sort through feelings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide shorter-term goals and practical steps.

Her background includes roles in maternal and child health, early intervention, and hospice care. That experience informs an emphasis on family dynamics, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, and adoption and foster care issues. Mary Ellen often helps people work through attachment, abandonment, and family-of-origin concerns.

Sessions include talking about immediate coping skills and planning follow-up steps. She helps with anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges, along with deeper issues like trauma, abuse, guilt, and shame. The approach is collaborative - clients set priorities and pace.

Work is offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are organized through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Mary Ellen practices in New Hampshire, offering services in English.

How Mary Ellen Uses Practical Approaches Online

Mary Ellen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on small experiments people can test between sessions.

She also uses client-centered methods and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the clients priorities and feelings, while mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are brought in when someone wants focused goal-setting and quick steps forward.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Mary Ellen approaches this collaboratively - she talks with each person about goals, tries techniques, and adjusts based on what feels helpful. That way the plan matches needs, pace, and preferences rather than being fixed from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more achievable.
