About Mary
Mary Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting, sleep and anger concerns.
She began her career serving high school students in a church setting and later earned a Master of Social Work from Aurora University in Illinois. Mary has worked in school and community settings, including time living and working on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, and holds licenses in Illinois and Montana as well as practicing in Indiana.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions emphasize practical skills for daily life - noticing patterns, changing unhelpful thoughts, and using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity. She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when the history behind a problem needs attention.
Mary pays attention to family dynamics and how relationships shape mood and behavior. She often helps clients break cycles that contribute to anger, low self-esteem, or grief. Work can include communication practices, coping strategies, and planning around life changes.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process with clear steps and real tasks between sessions. People who prefer active, problem-focused work and occasional deeper reflection tend to find her style direct and practical.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It supports people who want a respectful therapist who reflects concerns back and helps set practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems by breaking out habits and practicing alternatives.
Mindfulness Therapy develops present-moment awareness and attention to bodily cues. It can reduce reactivity and help with stress, grief, and ongoing mood issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and test what helps most. That collaborative process may shift from skills practice to deeper trauma-focused or psychodynamic exploration as needed.
