Mary Boyle , LMHC, LPC

Mary Boyle is a licensed mental health professional with thirty years of clinical experience. She holds the credentials LMHC and LPC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - and has worked across community mental health settings and private practice, developing extensive experience with seriously and persistently mentally ill clients as well as people facing depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and personality disorders.

Her practice blends compassion with careful assessment. She listens for current symptoms and the coping strategies a person has already tried, and she explores living situation and family of origin to gain a full picture of who someone is. Although she has a background in couples therapy, she is not accepting couples at this time.

Mary uses a range of therapeutic methods, including interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques, and she adapts other approaches as needed to address each person’s situation. She particularly enjoys working with women who struggle with low self-esteem, codependency, life adjustments, and relationship concerns.

Mary provides clear expectations around appointments - she will wait ten minutes for late arrivals and asks that clients attend scheduled sessions. If a client no-shows or cancels without 48 hours notice more than once, she may request reassignment to another therapist. For anyone who has experienced suicidal thoughts within the past year, Mary recommends seeking more intensive treatment than online therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Mary Boyle

Mary Boyle draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client is seen as the expert on their own life; this approach helps people clarify values, increase self-understanding, and build confidence in decision-making. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by testing and changing thinking habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so care remains responsive and meaningful.

Online therapy with Mary is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, and geographic constraints. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access timely support while balancing other life responsibilities.
