About Mary
Mary Redding is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 36 years of experience supporting adults. She works with people facing family and parenting strains, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and stress. Mary also helps with anger, self-esteem, career pressures, and coping with life changes.
Her work often focuses on everyday family problems such as communication breakdowns, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain. She also addresses attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, and the effects of domestic violence and trauma. The list of concerns she sees includes relationship difficulties and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation.
Mary uses several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to what a person needs in the moment. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means she mixes skills training, values clarification, and attention to relationship patterns in practical ways.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people identify patterns that cause pain and then practices small changes that reduce stress and improve communication. Work can include coping strategies, emotion regulation skills, and clearer ways to set boundaries.
People choosing Mary can expect a steady, experienced clinician who centers family and parenting issues among many other concerns. To begin, follow the site’s booking steps to share a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that repeat across life and helps people practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That could mean focusing more on skills from DBT one month and on values work from ACT the next, depending on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that working remotely lets them practice new skills in real-life routines, then bring observations back to sessions for focused problem solving.
