About Mary
Mary Ann Godefroy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She helps people sort through relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, career stress, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Her tone is supportive and direct, focused on practical steps you can use day to day.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for your goals and perspectives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to teach coping skills and change unhelpful thinking.
Mary Ann aims to build insight about what drives repeated problems, while helping people develop clearer choices. Sessions often focus on skill building - for mood, impulse control, or managing substance use - and on repairing communication patterns that cause conflict. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with stress and emotional regulation.
Her approach blends talking, practical exercises, and motivational interviewing strategies to encourage steady progress. She combines long-term insight work with short-term coaching when a clear plan is needed. Her goal is to help people move toward a more satisfying and manageable life.
Mary Ann has 14 years of clinical experience and practices in California. She works in English and accepts international clients when arrangements are appropriate.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and ways of connecting. It can be helpful for people who repeat similar conflicts or fear abandonment and want clearer ways to relate.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood first. That approach helps clients set goals from their own values and feel more confident about choices they make in life and work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress or addiction by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using mindfulness exercises one week and skill practice the next.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and avoid needing to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to remote sessions when the format supports it.
