About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 16 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting stress, and life transitions. Mary also addresses ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues in her practice.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and skills. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help manage thoughts, moods, and daily routines. Sessions often include attention to emotional regulation and strategies for coping with overwhelm.
Mary describes her style as client-driven. She adapts methods to what an individual needs and draws on motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment ideas when useful. That means conversations can include goal-setting, values clarification, and small behavioral changes to test in everyday life.
She has particular experience with parenting-related strain, postpartum concerns, and compassion fatigue. Mary also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and career-related stress. Her background includes long-term work with clients managing mood disorders and panic symptoms.
Mary frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. Expect clear, short-term strategies alongside attention to deeper patterns that come from family and upbringing. If you want to address how your family of origin shapes current habits and relationships, she lists that as a focus area and can work through those patterns with you.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter over the long term. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new behaviors to change those patterns. It is practical for mood, panic, and stress management. Mindfulness-based elements teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports sleep, overwhelm, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions can mix techniques so clients can try what helps and adjust as they go.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, test new skills between sessions, and keep shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical preferences and constraints with the therapist during the first meeting so sessions match your routine and goals.
