About Mary
LMHC in Florida with 31 years of clinical experience, Mary Archibald focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She is Mary Archibald and she helps people facing immediate life stress and longer-term challenges. Sessions address mood shifts, grief after loss, posttraumatic reactions, and everyday pressures that make parenting and relationships harder.
Mary uses practical, well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. She often combines structured skills work with open conversation. That means concrete strategies for coping, attention to values and meaning, and processing hard memories when needed.
Her background includes a PhD in Psychology and a Florida LMHC credential. Across three decades she has worked with military-connected concerns, multicultural stress, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and compassion fatigue. She draws on that experience to recognize common patterns and offer realistic next steps.
In sessions she pays attention to how thoughts, behavior, and relationships interact. Practical tasks and short exercises are common between meetings. She will also invite discussion of faith and belief when clients want that considered as part of care.
People can expect direct conversations about symptoms, clear strategies to try, and follow-up on what is or isn't helping. To begin, the typical pathway is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and making decisions during life transitions by teaching acceptance and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories through guided rescripting and bilateral stimulation, and it is often used for trauma and abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as the person notices what does or does not help.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days because they skip travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera for an entire meeting. Online sessions can also make it simpler to include mindfulness exercises, homework review, and brief coaching between longer visits. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to work in a session style that suits each person’s routine and goals.
