About Mary Booth

Mary Booth has spent decades guiding people through anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and the everyday stresses that can erode self-esteem and purpose. Raised in a family that emphasized faith, hard work, respect, and acts of kindness, she brings those core values into her work with empathy and steadiness. Over the course of her career she has supported individuals facing substance and alcohol concerns, codependency, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, loneliness, workplace conflict, caregiving strain, and the search for meaning.

She practices with an eclectic, client-focused style that adapts to each person rather than applying a single method for everyone. Mary is trained in approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing, choosing strategies that fit the client’s needs and goals. Mary holds the LMHC credential, which means Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she is based in New York.

Clients have noted her compassion, patience, and ability to relate, and she draws on those strengths to help people identify realistic goals and steps toward change. While her work spans many concerns - including stress, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and social anxiety - her focus is on helping each person find practical ways to improve daily life and emotional wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Mary Booth

Mary Booth integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet people where they are and build practical skills for change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and the client’s own goals so the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood, and teaches tools to modify those patterns to improve day-to-day functioning.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships, which can be especially useful for people struggling with impulsive behaviors or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques from these methods to create a plan that fits the individual. Online therapy adds practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to access regular support alongside work, family, and caregiving responsibilities.
