About Mary
Mary Redding is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 36 years of experience. She works in Mississippi and focuses on helping people manage family and parenting concerns, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at people who need clear steps and steady support.
She uses approaches like acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful habits and respond to stress more effectively.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas guide her work when relationship patterns and early connections shape current struggles. Client-centered care keeps the work grounded in each person’s priorities and pace. Mary helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, grief, and caregiver stress.
She also supports those facing adoption and foster care matters, blended family challenges, or family of origin issues. Sessions can address work stress, compulsive behaviors, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue from demanding roles. Practical tools are a regular part of sessions.
She may introduce exercises for mood tracking, behavior experiments, or short mindfulness practices. The goal is to give manageable skills that fit into busy family lives rather than lengthy or abstract homework. People who choose her typically want a respectful, steady guide through complicated change.
She focuses on small, realistic steps so progress feels doable. Sessions are offered in English and arranged using online formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Mary blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered conversations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people shift those patterns toward healthier connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace, and creates space for honest, non-judgmental discussion.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful given their goals, priorities, and day-to-day constraints. That partnership lets the plan change over time as new needs appear.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people dealing with family and parenting strain. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when scheduling is tight. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit brief updates into busy days. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into real family life rather than forcing big schedule changes.
