About Mary
LCSW in Tennessee with 5 years of clinical experience. Mary Brooks helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on body image, guilt and shame, life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, and issues common in young adulthood.
Mary’s earlier work as a social worker included school-based roles with elementary-aged children and community mental health work with older adults. That variety shaped how she notices life-stage differences and practical needs. In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and works with clients to set short-term goals they can test between meetings.
Sessions tend to center on talk, problem-solving, and building simple skills for managing panic symptoms, worry, and low mood. She helps people learn to notice thoughts and the behaviors that follow, then practices small changes that reduce distress. When relationships are the focus, she helps clients clarify patterns and choose different responses.
Mary keeps language direct and sessions fairly structured. She uses ordinary examples and homework that fit a person’s day. That approach makes it easier to try things and see what helps without big changes all at once.
Outside of clinical work she reads with a book club, enjoys thrift shopping, and spends time with her son. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thought patterns and behavior change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking; this can reduce worry and momentary panic by shifting responses to triggers. Another approach teaches practical skills for managing panic attacks and anxiety, such as breathing rhythms, brief grounding exercises, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to build tolerance.Finding the right method is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and daily life. That process may include trying a few approaches over several sessions and adjusting based on what produces the most relief and fits the client’s routine.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. In practice, virtual work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins during breaks. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler when video is difficult, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Discussing practical session choices happens during the initial scheduling and first meeting.
