About Mary

Mary Kivett is a Florida LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting strains, career pressures, and anger. She also works with issues tied to ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, and workplace problems.

Mary draws on practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work. She uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and try small, specific changes. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build straightforward steps to feel better in daily life.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She helps clients name painful thoughts and reactions, test new ways of responding, and track what works. For someone snapping at loved ones or carrying resentment from work, the work focuses on clearer communication, impulse control, and stress management skills.

Mary has experience from school settings and has worked with adolescents, adults, and families in educational contexts. That background informs how she talks about parenting concerns, young adult transitions, and day-to-day challenges people bring to sessions.

People meeting with her can expect practical tools they can use between appointments. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, trying concrete skills, and adjusting based on what helps. She invites straightforward conversations about goals and progress.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and stress by turning ideas into experiments and small practice steps.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can set their own goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to help notice reactions in the moment and reduce impulsive responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods over time. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused and pragmatic.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. It can also allow practice of new skills between meetings and quicker follow-up when plans change.
