About Mary
Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with twenty years of experience helping people move forward. She welcomes those who want relief from anxiety or depression, a way through grief, help with stress, or support after past trauma. Jackie writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Jackie begins by looking for what has helped clients before and bringing those strengths into the present. She helps people notice overlooked skills and ideas they already have. Then she and the client look at patterns that may be getting in the way and try new ways of thinking and acting.
Her work includes supporting people with attention challenges, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and reactions to sexual or physical violence. She has also guided parents and people struggling with work stress, loss, or family-of-origin issues. Codependency and attachment issues are among the areas she addresses when they fit a client's story.
Jackie uses a mix of practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She encourages concrete steps people can try between meetings while also giving space to process feelings and past hurts. The goal is clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day life.
People describe her style as straightforward and caring, focused on real change. If someone wants to explore new options, she offers steady support and practical tools to help them get where they want to go.
How Jackie Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what has helped a person before. It gives space to talk through feelings and to find solutions that fit each person’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and stress, and offers concrete exercises to try in everyday situations. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on responding to the effects of traumatic events and on practical steps to reduce their impact on daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie works with each person to identify which methods match their goals and comfort level. She often combines approaches so the plan fits what someone needs now and what they want to change over time.
