About Mary
Mary Clifford is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, and other life challenges. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Mary emphasizes the client’s strengths and works alongside them as they make changes that matter.
She uses plain language and short, concrete goals in sessions. That can mean learning ways to handle stress, managing mood shifts, or sorting through difficult memories from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, sleep trouble, and substance concerns.
Mary draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. These approaches shape conversations and homework that clients can try between sessions. The work tends to be active and collaborative rather than only reflective.
Her practice background includes work with first responder issues, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive concerns, paranoia, and personality disorder-related challenges. Mary has eight years of professional experience and holds an LPC, licensed in Arizona.
Sessions are conducted in English. If a reader needs to confirm current session options or how sessions are scheduled, they should check the Start Therapy process before booking.
