About Mary
Mary Cashman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut who draws on 13 years of clinical experience to help people navigate depression, stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts, family difficulties, and grief.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a compassionate, client-centered stance that invites honest sharing of thoughts and feelings and supports clients as they take the often difficult first step toward therapy. Her work blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies to address both immediate concerns and longer-standing patterns.
Mary pays attention to emotional challenges such as guilt and shame and to needs related to aging and geriatric issues, tailoring conversations and interventions to each person’s concerns and goals. Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where practical tools and reflective exploration are balanced.
Mary encourages people to recognize the courage involved in starting therapy and partners with them to set realistic, personalized goals for change.
Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Care
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve everyday functioning. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and can explore personal values and goals at their own pace. Both approaches support practical problem solving for relationship and family concerns while creating space to process grief and related emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages a collaborative conversation about what feels most useful, combining techniques when helpful and adjusting direction as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support, share practical exercises, and maintain an ongoing therapeutic relationship that adapts to individual circumstances.
