About Mary

Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance concerns. She draws on decades of clinical work to offer calm, practical care that focuses on real-life problems. Her manner is straightforward and focused on building skills people can use between sessions.

She combines several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions often include talking through current struggles, learning concrete coping skills, and exploring patterns that keep problems going. Education about how stress and trauma affect the body and mind is part of the work.

Mary has worked in many clinical settings over a long career. That experience shapes how she supports people through grief, relationship strain, addiction, and major life changes. She also has a strong interest in helping veterans, first responders, and law enforcement with trauma-related concerns.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based work, plus strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and Jungian ideas when those fit. The goal is to help people feel better and gain practical tools for solving future problems.

For people in Colorado seeking steady, experienced support, Mary aims to make therapy useful and understandable. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the Start Therapy process to match and schedule appointments.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people name their concerns and goals in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and many everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with supportive listening, adding CBT skills, or bringing in mindfulness and DBT strategies over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered work for conversation-based appointments that focus on skill building, problem solving, and paced emotional processing.
