About Mary Schoen
Mary Schoen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She approaches her work from a consistently nonjudgmental and accepting perspective, meeting people where they are and helping them move past obstacles that get in the way of living a more satisfying life.
Mary adapts her methods to what each individual needs, allowing clients to shape the direction and modalities of therapy. Her background includes work in home, school, and clinical agency settings, which has informed a flexible, practical style of care. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, selecting tools that fit the person and the presenting concern rather than imposing a single method.
Mary’s practice has included support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, and related challenges. She has experience working with LGBT clients, couples, and people coping with life transitions and caregiver strain.
While virtual work was a later addition to her practice, Mary has found remote sessions to be an effective option and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect. Her style emphasizes empathy, practical problem solving, and collaboration to help people identify meaningful change and take steps toward it.

Therapeutic approaches matched to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and patterns that get in the way of valued living by focusing on flexibility and commitment to change.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. It can be helpful for couples, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and people working through abandonment or attachment challenges by strengthening emotional bonds and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt techniques over time to support progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes.
