About Mary

Mary Jo Greenwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience based in Wyoming. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and problems linked to family of origin and parenting. Her practice also addresses addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related challenges.

She trained at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has worked across many settings. That includes psychiatric inpatient care, group homes, crisis centers, outpatient counseling, and child welfare systems. Those roles gave her experience helping people who have dealt with neglect, separation, or complex family situations.

Mary Jo uses an eclectic, client-centered approach. She combines Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral tools, Dialectical Behavior techniques, and mindfulness in ways that fit each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills, not labels, and plans change as needs shift.

Much of her work has involved parents, people affected by foster care or adoption, and those connected to the juvenile system. She also has experience supporting military veterans and understands the practical aspects of navigating VA-related processes.

She offers trauma-informed care and pays attention to how early family roles and patterns keep showing up in adult life. In sessions she helps people spot those patterns, try new ways of relating, and build routines to manage mood, sleep, or energy.

To start she asks about current concerns and creates a short, adaptable treatment plan. The focus is on clear steps people can use between meetings to make everyday life more manageable.

How Mary Jo applies evidence-based approaches online

Mary Jo uses client-centered methods that focus on the person rather than a single technique. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the adult's goals and preferences, with the therapist offering support and reflection while the client leads the pace of change. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through family patterns or make decisions about relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. In sessions this can mean identifying repeating roles from childhood and practicing new ways of relating to partners, friends, or co-parents. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills practice.

Deciding which methods to use is collaborative. Mary Jo will work together with the client to try approaches that match their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress and needs change. The aim is to find what helps and keep refining it over time.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, and some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit longer skills practice. The therapist and client can choose formats that match practical needs like quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or whether to use video or audio for a given session.
