Mary Landers

Mary Landers is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns. She works to create an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Seeking change can feel hard and Mary aims to support and empower each person who reaches out.

Mary brings 12 years of experience working with people coping with loss, traumatic experiences, and ongoing mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image worries, and challenges around attachment and commitment. Her background includes work with people navigating cancer, aging issues, and complex medical or mental health conditions.

In sessions Mary listens closely and helps clients name priorities and small steps forward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what would feel different if things improved. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication tools are often part of the work.

Mary aims to tailor support to each person’s situation and goals. She helps people think through options, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of handling stress or relationship difficulties. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

She is based in Texas and conducts therapy in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.

Evidence-informed methods and online care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and cope with life changes. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning; this often includes learning breath work, grounding exercises, and manageable routines to lower stress. Another approach concentrates on processing grief and loss by helping people make meaning of their experience, identify memories and emotions, and gradually re-engage with valued activities.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then together they will try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are made along the way if something isn’t working.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, since they can avoid travel and choose times that work around caregiving or medical appointments. Remote work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that don’t require being on camera, depending on the available formats. Licensed professionals can help you decide what will fit your routine and goals.
