About Mary
Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.
Her sessions are conversational and practical. She listens to what helps and adjusts her approach as needed. Mary uses a mix of techniques so sessions focus on the steps that move someone forward rather than on labels or jargon.
Mary trained at Nova Southeastern University and has worked in hospice bereavement, community health settings for children and teens, and private practice. That background gives her experience with end-of-life issues, loss, and chronic health challenges.
In practice she draws on client-centered methods to center a person’s own goals, psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat, and solution-focused tools to build small, manageable changes. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate and when a client and clinician agree it fits the situation.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Typical topics include handling anger and frustration, navigating difficult life transitions, parenting stress, and rebuilding after loss. Mary encourages feedback, so the plan can shift if something isn’t working.
People who want clear steps, plain language, and a mix of talking and practical exercises may find this approach useful. She accepts international clients and works in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Mary uses client-centered therapy to focus on a person's own goals and preferences. That approach involves listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping the work around those priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related symptoms. EMDR pairs structured, bilateral stimulation with guided recall to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when both therapist and client agree it is appropriate.
Psychodynamic ideas inform some sessions by looking at repeated patterns and relationships that affect current reactions, including anger and recurring conflicts. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, practical goals and build on what already works for the client.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Mary will discuss methods, listen to a client’s preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. That cooperative process helps identify which techniques are most useful for anger, grief, or stress concerns.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help someone manage therapy around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules.
