About Mary "Jackie" Downie

Mary "Jackie" Downie, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings more than 20 years of counseling and therapy experience to her work in Wyoming. She uses a strengths-based orientation that starts with what has helped a person in the past and brings those resources into present challenges, helping clients reconnect with overlooked skills and qualities that can support change. Her practice emphasizes exploring how earlier experiences may influence current patterns of thought and behavior, and then trying out new ways of thinking and acting that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Downie has extensive experience supporting people coping with anxiety, depression, attention challenges, and trauma originating in childhood, adolescence, or more recent events. She has worked with parents of children of all ages, assisted individuals facing workplace stress, and guided people through the stages of grief. Her clinical work also addresses relationship and family concerns, addictions, self-esteem issues, mood disorders, and coping with major life changes.

Viewing each person as an individual, she tailors interventions to the specific needs and goals presented. The focus is practical and collaborative - identifying tools, perspectives, and small behavioral steps that can help clients move toward clearer decisions, better relationships, and more manageable daily life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Mary "Jackie" Downie uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients' own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people who need acceptance, validation, and a collaborative ally while navigating stress, grief, or relationship concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical changes in thinking and behavior - a useful strategy for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. In addition, trauma-focused therapy is part of her skill set, offering ways to address the impact of past traumatic events through paced, evidence-informed techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Downie works with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so the therapeutic style fits the person rather than forcing a single method. Clients and the therapist regularly review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people meet - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility limits, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions or periods of high stress.
