About Mary
Mary Redding is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Mississippi with 36 years of experience. She works with adults on family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, career questions, depression, and related issues. She also addresses family of origin issues and attachment concerns listed among her focus areas.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying repeating patterns from family life, and learning skills to manage emotions and reactions. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and try new behaviors.
Mary also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. That can mean naming roles people learned in childhood and experimenting with different ways of relating now. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolbox for learning emotional regulation and reducing impulsive reactions.
She frames work in clear steps: clarify the problem, choose an approach that fits, and practice small changes between sessions. Conversations often cover communication strategies, boundary-setting, and ways to cope with life transitions. Parents who feel stuck by inherited family patterns can expect concrete suggestions and skill practice.
Mary works in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. To begin, the typical route is to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take committed steps toward them even when feelings are hard. It focuses on small, purposeful actions and changing how you relate to difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and communicating, and it helps people try new interaction patterns to improve closeness and boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision may change over time as progress is reviewed and new issues arise.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists often combine talking, skills practice, and brief between-session tasks so therapy can be applied to everyday life without requiring long trips to an office.
