Mary Redding, LCSW

Mary Redding, LCSW, uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people through major life changes. She centers sessions on what matters most to each person and guides them toward clearer choices and steadier emotions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients make real changes that fit their daily lives.

With 36 years of experience in Mississippi, she works with many concerns including family and parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also addresses relationship patterns, grief, career strain, and the strain that comes from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Midlife crisis is among the life changes she helps people navigate.

Therapy sessions blend practical skills and reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. Attachment-focused ideas are used to look at patterns that affect relationships.

Mary adapts conversations and exercises to each person’s pace. She focuses on clear goals, simple coping tools, and better communication. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build confidence that lasts beyond the room.

She keeps language plain and actionable so people can use work from therapy in real situations. If you want help sorting priorities, coping with change, or repairing important relationships, she offers steady, experience-led support.

Approaches that inform online support

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide much of her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change mood and stress. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed steps toward a life that feels meaningful, even when difficult feelings remain.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss your goals, preferences, and how you’ve handled challenges so far. Together you can try methods that fit your personality and current needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, reduce travel time, and let you work on skills in the environments where you live and work. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to keep progress steady while focusing on goals like managing anxiety, navigating midlife change, improving relationships, and building daily coping skills.
