About Mary
Dr. Mary Fawcett is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in counseling and counselor education. She practices from Minnesota and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions.
Her work focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She keeps conversations warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with no stigmatizing labels.
Dr. Fawcett listens for what matters most and adapts conversation to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Her background as a counselor educator and supervisor informs how she organizes care. She draws on several approaches to shape clear, manageable steps people can try between sessions. This includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and finding small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
People come to her for many reasons: coping with grief, dealing with addiction or intimacy concerns, navigating career or life transitions, and improving self-esteem. She also supports those facing multicultural or immigration-related stress and chronic health challenges. Sessions tend to emphasize collaboration and tangible goals.
Dr. Fawcett uses motivational conversation to build momentum and solution-focused ideas to set short-term targets. The aim is to help people leave sessions with a clearer plan and small actions to try.
Her style balances practical tools and empathic listening. Over time she helps people reframe problems, strengthen coping skills, and pursue the changes they want in daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Fawcett commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, helping people feel heard while they find their own solutions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice reactions in the moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can be short exercises to lower anxiety or improve attention in day-to-day life. Together these methods give both practical tools and a supportive space to try them out.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that fit what a person needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what feels doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter way to check in or work through quick steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
