Mary Landers, LCSW

Mary Landers is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress and anxiety, as well as related concerns like grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. Her approach emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel and think.

She works with individuals to identify what feels most urgent in their day-to-day life and to build practical skills for coping. Sessions often include talking through recent events, learning ways to manage intense feelings, and trying small changes that can make daily life more manageable. Mary supports people as they set realistic goals and notice progress over time.

Mary also addresses issues connected to relationships and identity, such as attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries. She brings attention to how past experiences and current circumstances shape stress and mood. Work may include exploring patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and testing new ways of relating.

Clients navigating chronic health conditions, caregiver stress, body image, or age-related concerns will find practical problem-solving alongside emotional support. She acknowledges that grief and loss can come in many forms and helps people find ways to cope while honoring what matters to them.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Mary encourages small, achievable steps and collaborates with each person to tailor sessions to their needs and pace.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma responses, and grief. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress - breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm in daily life. Another common technique looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice repeated reactions and try different responses to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work together with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time so the plan changes as progress and needs evolve.

Session formats and exact options are not specified here, so please confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting sessions happen from a home, workplace break, or another convenient spot. Licensed professionals can still provide focused, goal-oriented work through remote sessions while helping people build skills that translate into everyday life.
