About Mary Vietmeier
Mary Vietmeier brings more than two decades of experience supporting people through medical, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Raised as the eldest of four, she began caregiving early and later followed her mother into nursing in 1975, serving in surgical, labor and delivery, and cancer research settings until a serious back injury led her to change careers. After returning to school, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Capital University in 1993 and completed graduate training at Ohio State University in 2001, becoming a licensed clinical professional counselor - LPCC - in Ohio, qualified to assess and treat mental health and adjustment concerns.
Her professional path also includes a Masters in Divinity earned in May 2020 and a 2021 chaplaincy internship at Providence Medical Center in Anchorage, where she tended to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients facing severe and life-threatening situations. Those combined roles as nurse, counselor, and theologian shape a holistic, person-centered approach that considers physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions without judgment.
Mary’s clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career coaching, and compassion fatigue. She typically works with individuals rather than couples or families and rarely provides addiction or ADHD treatment. She favors video sessions because much of human communication is nonverbal and finds that video often enhances connection and understanding.
Clients working with Mary can expect an accepting, eclectic practice informed by years of training and life experience. She aims to help people gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and identify practical choices for moving forward. Mary emphasizes resilience and offers support for those navigating complex personal and health-related challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary integrates client-centered therapy, attachment-based approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques to meet a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person as a whole - thoughts, feelings, and values - and supports growth through empathy and nonjudgmental listening, which can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy examines patterns of connection and trust formed in relationships and can be useful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment wounds, and family-of-origin matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Mary works together with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the specific challenges at hand, and she tailors methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs and allow consistent support when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can effectively use these modalities to build rapport, teach skills, and support emotional processing in ways that suit each person’s life and pace.
