Mary Kivett

Mary Kivett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings six years of clinical experience and a warm, energetic presence to sessions. Mary focuses on practical steps clients can use to feel more confident and steady in day-to-day life.

Her background includes work in public education, where she supported adolescents, adults, and families and learned to listen to many different perspectives. That experience informs a straightforward, relatable approach to common concerns like anxiety, stress, and challenges with self-esteem. Mary also helps people facing compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, grief, and parenting stress.

In sessions she uses brief, goal-focused methods alongside client-directed conversation. She adapts tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused work to match what each person prefers. The emphasis is on small changes that make daily life easier and on building the client's own strengths.

Mary describes her role as collaborative and encouraging. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through control issues, attachment concerns, relationship or communication problems, career and workplace worries, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is upbeat and practical. She supports clients who want clear steps and ongoing encouragement as they navigate life changes and work toward greater self-love and resilience.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens with curiosity and follows the client’s lead to identify what matters most and which steps feel right. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through choices and feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can ease anxiety, improve mood, and make everyday tasks feel more manageable.

Mindfulness therapy adds simple practices to help with attention and stress. Techniques like short breathing exercises and noticing thoughts without judgment can reduce reactivity and boost calm in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and what methods feel most useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that blends listening and practical tools.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people participate from different locations when that helps maintain consistency.
