Mary Morgan, LCSW

Mary Morgan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her work centers on practical steps people can use right away.

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core way to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She pairs this with mindfulness exercises and coping skills tailored to each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, manageable changes.

Her style is straightforward and interactive. Mary helps people set clear goals and practices new ways of responding between sessions. She emphasizes strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life.

Mary has supported people dealing with caregiver stress, serious medical diagnoses, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging-related issues. She also addresses relationship strain, intimacy questions, sexuality, and workplace or career stress. Presentations she has given have covered grief, coping with cancer as a young adult, and caregiver burnout.

Outside of work she enjoys camping and hiking around Montana and the Pacific Northwest. She aims to work together to find realistic steps that reduce distress and increase skills for coping with daily life.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also introduces mindfulness skills to help people manage strong emotions and build tolerance for difficult moments. Mindfulness practices are short, repeatable exercises that can be used between sessions to steady mood and attention.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to understand goals and preferences and then adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face work when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, written reflections, and brief skill practice between scheduled sessions. These options make it possible to maintain steady work on goals even with a changing schedule.
