About Mary
Mary Slaton brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to her practice, pairing practical, evidence-informed strategies with thoughtful exploration of life patterns. Mary, LPC, has built two decades of experience helping people examine how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships influence stress, anxiety, mood, and overall wellbeing.
Background and approach
She uses structured tools alongside reflective dialogue to identify patterns that support or impede meaningful change. Her work often includes attention to relationship dynamics, communication problems, self-esteem, body image, workplace concerns, and issues related to grief, addiction, parenting, and career direction.
Mary also integrates elements of the Gottman Method and psychodynamic thinking when they fit a client's goals, helping clients strengthen relationships and understand long-standing emotional patterns. Located in Texas, she combines goal-focused methods with curiosity about how values, social life, spirituality, and work intersect in a person’s daily experience.
Mary frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients learn to notice what already works for them and to expand those strengths into other areas of life. Her approach emphasizes practical change, self-awareness, and encouragement as people pursue the relief and growth they want.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method into online work, offering clear, practical strategies as well as tools for improving relationship interactions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, and is useful for stress, sleep problems, and many everyday concerns. The Gottman Method centers on communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding connection between partners, and it can be helpful for people seeking to improve relationship patterns.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life situation, adapting plans as needs evolve and combining techniques when that serves the client best.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These formats make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when life is changing, and access a licensed professional from home or another convenient setting.
