About Mary
Dr. Mary Torok is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting strain, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship problems, and related issues. She also addresses ADHD, grief, sleeping problems, anger, and career concerns.
Mary uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered approaches. Sessions often include direct skill teaching, behavioral strategies, and discussion about patterns that affect everyday life.
Her background includes work across clinical, educational, residential, and in-home settings. That variety shaped a focus on concrete tools people can use between sessions. She has experience supporting people affected by abuse, discrimination, and bullying, and helps with community and resource referrals when needed.
In conversations she emphasizes learning skills such as communication, problem solving, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. She also works with issues around attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, and forgiveness. Progress is often practical - managing stress, improving sleep routines, or reducing conflict at home.
People who want straightforward guidance about parenting challenges, family friction, or coping with life changes may find this approach useful. To start, confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr. Torok commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with stress, grief, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation shapes how skills, exercises, and plans are introduced across sessions.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or school commitments. It can allow for shorter check-ins, sessions without being on camera, or evening meeting times that reduce travel. Licensed professionals use these options to make therapy more practical for everyday life rather than to promise a particular outcome.
