About Mary

Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in counseling. She welcomes people seeking relief from depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes. Jackie writes plainly and listens closely to figure out what each person needs right now.

Jackie begins by looking for what has worked for a person before. She helps bring those strengths forward and builds on them. Conversations focus on practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that feel stuck or harmful.

Her background includes work with trauma from childhood and recent events, attention challenges, grief, and workplace stress. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and parenting pressures. Jackie talks through specific situations and helps people find realistic steps to feel better.

Sessions tend to explore how past experiences affect current choices and emotions. She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs most. Expect a collaborative style where the client and Jackie set goals together and try small, doable changes.

Jackie practices in Wyoming and conducts therapy in English. If you are ready to try therapy, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Her aim is to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

How Jackie’s Approaches Work Online and in Conversation

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your perspective and what matters to you. The therapist follows your lead, listens carefully, and helps you notice strengths you may have missed. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves finding unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, panic, and changing daily routines that no longer work.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses past events that continue to cause distress. It helps people understand how trauma shapes reactions and teaches ways to reduce its hold on daily life. This approach is often used for post-traumatic stress, childhood trauma, and recent traumatic events.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. You and the therapist can try different tools and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use these sessions to teach coping skills, track progress, and plan practical steps that fit daily life.
