Mary Guillory, LPC

Mary Guillory is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and substance concerns. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can start using new tools quickly. Mary listens closely and works to build trust so people feel able to talk about hard things.

Mary emphasizes a collaborative relationship. She meets each person where they are and adapts her approach to fit their needs. Sessions often include skill-based work and conversations about how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment principles to reduce unwanted symptoms and boost day-to-day functioning. Attachment-based and client-centered methods also inform how she supports people who have experienced trauma or difficult relationships. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Mary has five years of clinical experience working with common life challenges including relationship strain, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with transitions. She uses conversational, goal-focused sessions to break problems into manageable steps.

Sessions are offered in English and Mary accepts international clients. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. ACT helps people clarify values and take action toward what matters while learning to accept difficult internal experiences.

She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas when relationship history or trust issues are central. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect current reactions. A client-centered stance means sessions are paced around the person's concerns and priorities rather than a fixed script.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time as goals change or progress is made.

Online therapy with her can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Clients can choose formats that suit their energy level, bandwidth, and schedule while continuing consistent therapeutic work.
