About Mary

Mary Redding is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 36 years of experience. She helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strains. She also supports people facing grief, career shifts, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her work emphasizes clear, practical conversations. She listens to what is happening day to day and helps people notice patterns that keep problems active. Sessions often focus on communication, coping skills, and setting realistic steps for change.

Mary uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships affect current reactions.

In a meeting with Mary, expect straightforward goals and tools you can use between sessions. She pays attention to family dynamics and the small routines that shape mood and anger. Work may include role practice, behavioral experiments, and tracking reactions to notice progress.

Her long experience includes helping people through divorce, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and complicated family-of-origin problems. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions. Mary works in English and practices in Mississippi.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult feelings. It often supports people who want more consistent behavior in the face of anger or stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses. This can be useful for workplace frustration, anxiety, and patterns that lead to snapping at others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel time. It also makes it practical to practice skills in real environments and bring those moments back into sessions for review.
