About Mary

Mary Niedermeier-Bleyaert is a licensed social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 34 years of professional experience. She draws on a broad clinical background to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family conflicts, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life while offering skills and frameworks to navigate difficult transitions and intense emotions. Mary blends collaborative, evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen emotional awareness.

She seeks to meet each person where they are, honoring existing strengths while guiding practical steps toward change. Many clients come for help with intimacy challenges, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to self-esteem and anger.

With a respectful, person-centered stance, Mary encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports clients through the process of clarifying goals and practicing new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thinking and to develop practical coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that emphasizes the client’s own perspective and strengths as the basis for change. When helpful, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support stability and better relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and needs, combining techniques as appropriate to create a personalized plan rather than relying on a single technique alone.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals while fitting therapy into a busy life, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their Michigan location.
