Mary Aubrey, LICSW

Mary Aubrey LICSW is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with 40 years of experience. She has worked in college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention, hospitals, and private practice. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, angry, or confused and want practical ways to manage those feelings.

Mary listens to how clients describe their struggles and then sets clear goals together. She tracks progress with straightforward steps so people can see what is changing. Her work often focuses on anxiety, panic, depression, relationship and family problems, addictions, grief, and eating concerns.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work, earned in 1985, and earlier training in counseling. Over four decades she has layered work in different settings, so she brings a range of real-world experience to sessions.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when people want direct, actionable steps and short-term plans.

Mary’s style is collaborative and practical. She asks what is working and what is not, and she adjusts approaches based on the client’s feedback. If life changes, work stress, grief, or anger are getting in the way, she works with people to create clearer choices and next steps.
