Practical, Trauma-Informed Care Through Online Therapy
Mary Sullivan, LPC, draws from approaches that support both insight and day-to-day coping. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace, creating room to talk through difficult experiences while strengthening self-trust and clarity around goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing more supportive alternatives. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and the ripple effects that trauma can have on daily life and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can help when feelings swing quickly or when coping strategies need to be rebuilt over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively, helping clients sort through what they want to change, what has helped in the past, and what feels realistic now, then shaping sessions around those needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support. With options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, clients can choose the format that best fits their comfort level, schedule, and energy, while still working toward meaningful progress.
