She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and other everyday crises. Mary Jo uses a down-to-earth style and aims to make the first step feel easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
She trained at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has worked in many settings, including psychiatric inpatient units, group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient clinics. That range of experience means she has supported people through addiction, trauma, grief, and complicated life transitions. She also has substantial experience connected to child welfare and juvenile services and has worked with parents and people affected by those systems.
Mary Jo takes a trauma-informed view and pays attention to the whole person rather than only symptoms. Her approach is eclectic and client-driven, which means she tailors the plan to each person and adjusts it as needs change. She draws on attachment-focused ideas, cognitive tools, mindfulness, and skills from dialectical behavior work when helpful.
Clients who prefer a gradual start can move at their own pace. Mary Jo has helped people begin with less direct contact and shift to longer conversations over time. She emphasizes practical coping skills and clear steps that fit a person's daily life.
Mary Jo works from Wyoming and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and will work with you to create a treatment plan aimed at improving daily functioning and relationships.
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Mary Jo commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills to change behavior and mood.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That work can help people understand intimacy issues, codependency, and relationship cycles. Mary Jo treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into life, whether that means fewer commutes or more flexible scheduling. The therapist will discuss which session arrangements are possible and recommend a pace that fits your needs. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The focus remains on practical skills, consistent check-ins, and adapting the plan as progress is made.
