About Mary
Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 45 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are trying to manage stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, trauma and related struggles. Her focus includes a wide range of concerns such as depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, and career stress.
Mary uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She explains how symptoms like PTSD affect the nervous system and helps people learn skills they can use day to day. Conversations are aimed at reducing immediate distress and building tools for future challenges.
Her background includes long experience in diverse clinical settings and work with populations who face trauma. She has worked with veterans, first responders, and law enforcement on trauma-informed approaches and post-traumatic stress concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction and co-occurring issues.
Mary blends several therapeutic approaches rather than relying on a single method. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices to match what a person needs in the moment. Education about what is happening is part of the work.
Sessions aim to help clients feel better and to teach practical problem-solving skills. She asks about each person’s goals and uses that information to guide the next steps. Mary sees people who live in Colorado and conducts work in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote conversations. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions like anger.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. Deciding which approaches to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try approaches that fit the client’s needs and preferences.
The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people sustain regular work on anger, stress, and trauma without changing daily routines.
