Mary Cole , LPC

Mary Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia and Florida who brings 15 years of therapeutic experience to her work. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore emotions, identify unhelpful patterns, and learn healthier coping strategies. Her practice focuses on helping people who struggle with emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, and past trauma build resilience and greater security within themselves and their relationships.

Working with a structured yet compassionate approach, Mary guides clients in developing emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings, reshaping relationship patterns to encourage healthier connections, and strengthening self-worth and boundaries to reduce people-pleasing tendencies. She also teaches mindfulness and grounding techniques aimed at easing anxiety and improving present-moment awareness.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, blending self-exploration with practical strategies to promote emotional stability, inner calm, and confidence in decision-making. Clients often leave sessions feeling empowered, understood, and more self-aware. Mary maintains regular practice hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Fridays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. In situations of immediate danger or crisis, individuals are advised to call 911 or local emergency services, or to contact 1-800-273-TALK (8255). She looks forward to working with prospective clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mary Cole integrates evidence-informed approaches to support clients in navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and committing to meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for mood disorders, panic, and coping with daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for building self-worth and improving relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary Cole collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels personalized and effective.

Online therapy with Mary is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, those with mobility constraints, or clients in different parts of Georgia. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from familiar settings while working toward therapeutic goals.
