About Mary
Mary Jo Greenwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 21 years of experience. She practices from a trauma-informed, client-driven perspective and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She earned her Master of Social Work at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2002.
Her career spans psychiatric inpatient care, group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient counseling, giving her a wide view of different treatment settings.
Background and approach
A substantial part of her practice involved work in the child welfare and juvenile systems, supporting abused and neglected children and the parents involved in those systems. She also has experience helping people affected by military service and the VA disability process. Her approach blends Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness ideas.
Sessions focus on practical steps, coping skills, and making a plan that changes as needs change. She aims to treat the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms. Mary Jo often begins with lower-intensity contact like messaging for people who feel anxious about starting therapy.
From there clients can move to phone or video sessions when they feel ready. She supports people through life transitions, grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and a broad range of behavioral health challenges. People who choose her often value a warm, nonjudgmental clinician who helps them set realistic goals and build skills to improve daily life.

How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to address connection, trust, and parenting-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills; through video or messaging clients work on identifying thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most comfortable. Together they create a flexible plan and adjust it over time as needs and circumstances change.
Online formats offer concrete practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during brief breaks at work. Live chat and text messaging let people start with lower-intensity contact, fit check-ins into a busy day, or continue a thought between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals and skills while fitting therapy into everyday life.
