About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 16 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, burnout, or depression and those coping with life transitions and parenting strains, including postpartum challenges. Mary also lists anger among the concerns she addresses.
She uses a client-driven style and adjusts sessions to match what each person brings. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way of everyday functioning and on practical steps to manage emotions. Mary draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her work pays attention to attention differences and chronic stress. That means strategies for staying focused, breaking tasks into usable steps, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. For mood and emotional regulation she may use breath-based awareness and grounding practices drawn from mindfulness work.
Mary also supports people facing trauma, grief, relationship strain, eating and sleep problems, and issues connected to identity and LGBT concerns. She helps people weigh options and set small, achievable goals rather than promising quick fixes.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Mary aims to help people reconnect with small sources of meaning and move toward steadier day-to-day functioning. To begin, readers are prompted to use the site's matching process and schedule a first appointment.
How Mary uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when resentment, avoidance, or stuckness interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and practises new ways of responding to reduce unhelpful cycles of mood and anger. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices for noticing sensations, slowing down reactions, and reducing reactivity in moments of stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary works collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals and daily reality. She adapts strategies over time based on what helps and what feels workable for the client.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. They also let people use practices learned in sessions where those skills are needed most. Discussing practical scheduling and how a session will run is part of the initial matching and planning process so sessions can fit into everyday life.
