About Mary
Dr. Mary Cotten is a clinical psychologist who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life changes. She frames work around clear goals and practical steps so clients can see what to try next. She aims to be relaxed and nonjudgmental in sessions and focuses on listening first before offering ideas.
Dr. Cotten has three decades of experience as a psychologist and draws on that background when helping people manage mood, self-esteem, and career concerns. She often addresses family of origin issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges like addiction or compassion fatigue. Her work also includes support for aging and geriatric issues, workplace struggles, and women's concerns.
Her main way of working is cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful patterns and practice alternatives that change feelings over time. She combines that approach with attentive listening and tailored suggestions.
Appointments are offered from her Texas base and conducted in English. Scheduling aims to match people with a pace that fits their life, including options outside typical daytime hours when needed. Fees vary by location and the service model used.
