About Mary

Mary Johnston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 10 years of clinical experience across diverse treatment settings. She works with adults and adolescents in both individual and group formats and has experience supporting families through relationship and parenting challenges. Much of her work has focused on substance use, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, and she also addresses blended family issues, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, and concerns related to mood and attention such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Mary brings a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance to her work and emphasizes meeting clients where they are. She understands that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, so she aims to make the process approachable while helping clients identify and work toward meaningful goals. Mary draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person's strengths and needs. Her practice centers on collaboration, practical skills, and steps that promote healthier coping and improved relationships over time.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Flexibility

Mary Johnston integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, helping clients build self-awareness and strengthen relationships through a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain substance use. Solution-focused therapy is goal-oriented and practical, concentrating on existing strengths and small, attainable steps to move past specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Mary, use these formats to provide consistent, goal-focused care that meets clients where they are.
