About Mary
Dr. Mary Schacht offers individual therapy for adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or big life changes. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington and brings a practical, steady style to sessions. Her tone is grounded and focused on helping people find manageable steps forward.
She uses a client-centered, strengths-based approach that lets each person set their own goals. Sessions often include education about stress and trauma responses alongside skills to manage intense feelings and everyday demands. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas may be used to build small, useful changes between visits.
Mary draws on 12 years of experience in community mental health and international work. That background includes collaborative projects in western Kenya and work with diverse populations in community settings. Her experience informs an awareness of how social and cultural factors affect daily life and healing.
Therapy with her is practical and attentive to context. She pays attention to family background, life stage, and the systems that influence a person’s choices. Clients are encouraged to notice strengths they already have and to try strategies that can be adapted to their situation.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including trauma and post-traumatic stress, first responder issues, compassion fatigue, parenting strains, career stress, bipolar mood management, ADHD, and immigration-related difficulties. People who want a collaborative, respectful approach that connects symptoms to life circumstances may find her style useful.
