About Mary
Mary Yost is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 29 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and low self-esteem.
She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s goals in view. Sessions often focus on learning clearer communication, setting boundaries, and building everyday coping skills. The work is straightforward and tailored to each person’s situation.
Her background includes helping people through major life transitions, caregiver stress, and long-term health challenges. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care issues when they relate to a person’s emotional life. This helps people address attachment concerns and patterns that show up in adult relationships.
Therapy combines practical skill-building with attention to personal meaning. Techniques may draw on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance strategies, and approaches that look at attachment and emotional patterns. The goal is increased self-understanding and better choice-making in daily life.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Mary aims to create a steady working relationship where people can test new behaviors, talk through hard feelings, and notice small changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and problems that come from feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy unfolds.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on hectic days, and letting people connect from wherever they are that day. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for use in virtual sessions, using worksheets, behavioral experiments, and practical homework to keep progress moving between meetings.
