About Mary
Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wyoming with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, and other life changes. Jackie commonly helps people noticing that patterns from their family of origin keep affecting choices and feelings now.
Jackie begins by looking for what has helped a person before and bringing those strengths into current struggles. Sessions often involve talking through how past family roles and expectations affect today’s behavior. She helps people try new ways of thinking and acting that can ease daily stress and improve relationships.
Her background includes long-term work with anxiety, mood disorders, attention challenges, and trauma from earlier life stages and more recent events. She has supported parents across a range of child ages and people navigating workplace conflict. Jackie also works with grief, addiction, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Therapeutically she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approaches, plus solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when useful. In sessions she balances exploring past influences with practical steps to change habits, thoughts, and interactions.
Those interested in starting are asked to follow the online intake steps to match and schedule a first appointment. Jackie works in English and provides care from her Wyoming practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building on what already helps a person. It is useful for people who want supportive conversation and practical direction for everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and pattern changes tied to family roles.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you will check whether an approach is helping and adjust plans over time based on what actually works in sessions.
The practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into a busy life and keeping regular check-ins without extra travel. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to return to short check-ins, focus on skills practice, or schedule appointments around work and family obligations.
