About Mary

Dr. Mary Fawcett is a licensed professional counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of experience in counseling and counselor education.

Background and approach

She draws on long-term work with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, addiction, and a broad range of life transitions, including career challenges, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Her practice also addresses multicultural concerns, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and illness, and aging-related questions.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, supportive, and collaborative, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques, using motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

Dr. Fawcett seeks to help clients identify practical steps and internal resources to cope with change and pursue more satisfying, value-driven lives.

Prospective clients can expect an individualized approach that balances skill-building with reflective exploration, with attention to emotions, behavior patterns, and real-world problem solving. She invites people ready to take steps toward change to begin the process and offers guidance through assessment and collaborative goal-setting.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work



Dr. Fawcett incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical skills and homework between sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth by prioritizing the client's perspective and pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Fawcett works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and needs, and then adapts techniques from CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices to form a plan that feels constructive and manageable for the individual.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives and accommodating different communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular visits, practice skills between appointments, and access care from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
