Mary Sanders, LCSW, CSW

Mary Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and addiction. She writes as Beth Sanders and draws on 36 years of practice to support people making meaningful changes in their lives. Her style is relational and direct, focused on finding what works for each person. Beth centers sessions on building awareness of strengths and barriers. She helps clients learn practical coping skills, communicate more clearly, and set goals they can reach. She also brings attention to spiritual values when clients want to include that element in their work. Her background includes long experience working with relationship and family concerns alongside addiction and trauma-related issues. She uses approaches that emphasize emotional connection and motivation to change, and she adapts techniques to each persons situation. In sessions she challenges clients to use time well and to practice skills between meetings. Beth describes therapy as a shared effort where both people do meaningful work toward goals. She also notes that this is an ongoing process she continues herself. People who choose Beth typically want a therapist who is frank, relational, and experienced with complex life issues. She supports exploration of grief, identity, intimacy, caregiving stress, and co-occurring concerns. Her goal is to help clients strengthen what already works in their lives while reducing obstacles to change.
