About Mary
NY Psychologist Prof. Mary Streit has 11 years of clinical and coaching experience in New York. She focuses on parenting, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, family matters, career decisions, and women's issues. Her main methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Mary offers life coaching alongside psychological work and uses an interactive style that asks clients to reflect and respond.
Mary asks direct questions and encourages honest answers. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than lecture-style. She helps people clarify goals and identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and practicing mindful awareness.
Her approach combines goal-focused coaching with traditional therapy techniques. ACT is used to name values and commit to actions that matter. CBT tools are used to spot thinking patterns that get in the way and to develop alternatives. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person's concerns and experience.
Mary has a background as an educator, counselor, and life coach. That mix informs how she structures sessions and sets homework. She asks clients to experiment with ideas and report back on what worked and what didn’t. The aim is steady progress toward clearer priorities and manageable change.
If someone wants to start, the practical next step is to use the site matching and scheduling flow. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Mary uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that reflect those values. It focuses less on eliminating hard feelings and more on moving toward meaningful goals despite them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change those patterns through experiments and practice. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the client's perspective, using open questions and reflection so the person leads the pace and content of sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Mary treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps in practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. The coaching elements and CBT experiments translate well to remote meetings because they rely on brief exercises, homework, and follow-up conversation rather than long in-room interventions.
