About Mary
Mary Owen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of professional experience. She is licensed in Alabama and Virginia and works with adult clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and parenting concerns.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She helps people talk through family conflict, repair trust in relationships, and improve communication. She also supports clients living with trauma and abuse, and those managing low self-esteem or major life changes.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns that lead to outbursts, building skills to respond differently, and strengthening emotional connection with others. For couples, she concentrates on restoring trust and clearer communication. For parents, she helps manage the stress of caregiving and the pressure that can feed into anger and frustration.
Mary adjusts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and conflict. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at tools people can use between sessions.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. International clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Mary draws on commonly used evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anger and relationship problems. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them, which can lower reactive thinking and reduce heated responses. Skill-based methods teach concrete communication and emotion-regulation techniques that help people pause and choose a different response when frustration rises.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to try, based on the person's goals, daily life, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is assessed so the approach can be adjusted together.
