About Mary

Mary Slaton, LPC, brings 20 years of counseling experience to her work. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and questions about identity and purpose. Her style aims to be encouraging and practical so people can take small steps toward clearer goals.

Mary uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s situation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

She also uses Psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that shape current feelings and choices. The Gottman Method informs her thinking about relationship patterns and communication. In sessions she helps clients map the different parts of their lives - social, work, self, and relationships - to see where change might come from.

She asks simple questions and listens for patterns that keep people stuck. Together she and the client set clear, realistic goals and try practical steps to reach them. Mary also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, addictions, career decisions, parenting strains, body image, and workplace issues.

She works with concerns around LGBT matters, veterans and armed forces issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD as part of her broad practice. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She encourages people to notice what’s already working and to build more of it.

The focus is on small, steady shifts that add up to meaningful change.

Online support

Using Gottman, CBT, and Talking Work Online

The Gottman Method looks at everyday communication and conflict patterns. It focuses on how people interact and offers clear skills for improving conversations and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions and provides exercises to change those patterns. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeated life patterns and where they might come from to help people gain insight into current struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to use CBT tools for immediate symptom relief, Gottman-informed ideas for communication, or psychodynamic exploration for deeper patterns. The plan can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and life.
