About Mary
Mary Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, anger, and related concerns. She also lists issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
She trained with a Master of Social Work and holds LCSW credentials in Illinois and Montana as well as Indiana practice experience. Early work with high school students and later work on the Blackfeet Reservation shaped her view of how family and community affect emotional health. That background informs how she understands a person’s struggles today.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice she talks through how thoughts, relationships, and daily habits affect mood and behavior. She uses practical strategies from CBT and mindfulness to reduce reactivity and build better routines.
Mary pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and daily life. She helps people notice triggers, practice new responses, and plan small changes that fit their schedules. That includes addressing issues tied to first responder work, postpartum depression, hospice and end-of-life concerns, gender dysphoria, and young adult transitions when these are relevant.
People who want straightforward, practical sessions about anger, stress, or life transitions will find a clear, paced style. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients clarify what matters to them. It supports people who need someone who will reflect their goals and priorities back in a straightforward way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical strategies to reduce reactivity, change unhelpful thinking, and build new habits for handling anger and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice tension and interrupt automatic reactions. It can help with managing bursts of anger, rumination, and sleep disruption.
Mary treats finding the right approach as a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace the work, and adjust techniques as needs change.
