About Mary
Mary Duhon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. She also helps people navigating life changes and questions about life purpose.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk and practical steps. Conversations often focus on what feels most pressing, such as overwhelming worry, trouble communicating with a partner, or the pain after a loss. She pays attention to body image concerns, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Mary frames therapy as collaborative problem solving. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and offers ideas to try between sessions. That might include communication strategies, coping practices for strong emotions, or experiments to test new ways of relating to others.
Her approach blends supportive conversation with techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods. She helps people break larger problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Mary works in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Mary draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach involves learning specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding exercises, and planning gradual exposures to feared situations. These techniques help when worry or avoidance get in the way of everyday life.Another approach centers on communication strategies and behavioral experiments to address relationship difficulties and social anxiety. This involves identifying unhelpful interaction patterns, trying new ways of expressing needs, and reviewing what worked or didn’t afterward to refine the approach.
Choosing the right method is worked out together. Mary treats finding an approach as a collaborative process that depends on the client’s goals and preferences. She will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods over time rather than assuming one route fits everyone.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent work on life direction and coping skills while balancing everyday demands.
