About Mary
Dr. Mary Jane Preece brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She is an LPC, LPCC who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. Her focus is on practical steps that help people move forward in day-to-day life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Sessions are aimed at learning skills and testing small changes between meetings.
With about 20 years of experience in Ohio, she has supported people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, trauma, and career transitions. She also helps those coping with abandonment issues, family of origin concerns, fertility and cancer-related stress, and compassion fatigue. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
In the room she listens closely and partners with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that repeat in relationships and at work. She encourages practical homework and real-world experiments to build confidence.
She aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can speak honestly about what is hard. If you want help sorting through mood struggles, adjusting to life changes, or improving how you handle stress, she can work with you to make a plan.
