About Mary
Mary Aubrey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 40 years of experience. She has worked in college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospital services, and private practice. Mary helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, angry, or confused and wants to hear about these struggles from the person's point of view.
Mary uses straightforward collaboration in sessions. She asks what matters to the client, sets clear goals together, and tracks progress over time. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical ways to reduce stress and manage intense feelings like anger or panic.
Her background includes work with anxiety and panic, depression, relationship and family conflict, addictions, eating and food-related issues, grief, and PTSD. She also addresses career strain, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and isolation or loneliness. Years in crisis settings inform how she handles urgent or sudden problems.
Clinical approaches Mary draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and solve immediate problems. Sessions combine talking, practical exercises, and goal-setting.
Mary earned a Master of Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in 1985 and holds an MA LICSW credential. Her long practice across settings means she is used to working with different life stages and situations. If someone wants to begin, they can follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial session.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online work
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce stress or angry reactions. CBT is practical and often includes exercises to practice between sessions.She also draws on Psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns and how past relationships affect current feelings. This can help when anger or resentment repeats across different situations.
Solution-Focused Therapy shows up as brief goal-setting and building on what already works. It helps when someone wants focused steps for a specific problem like workplace frustration or family conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can change over time as progress is tracked.
