About Mary
Mary Cassidy is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes. Her work often addresses self-esteem, parenting and career pressures while also attending to trauma, grief, and family problems.
Mary keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps clients identify what matters most, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Conversations are warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make space for honest reflection and realistic steps forward.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing workplace stress, relationship shifts, and midlife transitions. She brings two decades of experience into each session and draws on a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. This includes addressing attachment, communication, and commitment struggles that show up in relationships.
Clients can expect to learn coping skills for difficult emotions, clear communication techniques, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or upheaval. Mary also works with issues such as blended family tensions, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and fertility-related distress. Her aim is to help people reclaim steady routines and clearer priorities.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire helps connect people with her practice and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and better understand their own choices, which is useful for relationship or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches simple, practical tools to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and improve coping with stress.
Mindfulness Therapy adds attention to the present moment through short exercises and grounding techniques. It can help reduce reactivity and build steadier focus during emotional moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Goals, comfort with techniques, and daily routines all guide those conversations.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It also supports continuing care when life changes make in-person visits hard. Many people find it simpler to practice new skills in their usual environment and bring questions back to the next session.
