About Mary
Mary Kivett is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting strain, and anger. Mary works with people coping with life changes and career pressures, and with those dealing with grief, ADHD, or compassion fatigue.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build workable goals with each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps her clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mary also uses Solution-Focused and Mindfulness methods to support practical changes and present-moment awareness.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Mary invites clients to set clear objectives and to test small changes between meetings. She frames work around real-life situations - conversations at home, stress at work, or patterns that keep repeating - rather than abstract theory.
Her approach is active and goal-oriented while remaining person-focused. Clients who want practical steps and regular check-ins tend to do well with this style. Mary pays attention to communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and attachment patterns when they come up.
Mary practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Mary uses practical approaches in online sessions
Mary often works from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, clarifying what matters to the person, and shaping goals together. It helps when someone wants support naming their priorities and making decisions that fit their life. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and trying small behavioral experiments. It is useful for anger linked to automatic reactions, workplace stress, or repetitive relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts plans based on what the client reports.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals, including Mary, can use these formats to focus on skills such as calming practices, communication rehearsals, and planning small behavior changes that translate into daily life.
