About Mary

Mary Ringer is an LPCC practicing in New Mexico with 27 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and sleep problems. Her work also covers LGBT questions and issues that affect women. She aims to make reaching out feel manageable for a worried parent or carer.

Mary uses clear, direct methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she and the client set practical goals and try small steps that can lead to noticeable changes.

Many people who see her are coping with caregiver strain, loneliness, or big life transitions. She supports people facing guilt, shame, or trouble communicating with others. She also helps those thinking about life purpose and navigating aging or geriatric concerns.

Sessions focus on what the client needs right now. Mary explains ideas in plain language and works on skills that fit daily life. She encourages simple experiments between sessions so progress can be tracked and adjusted.

Her overall aim is steady, sensible progress rather than quick fixes. Mary invites clients to share their story and to try approaches that feel doable. Before booking, confirm current session options to make sure they match your needs.

How CBT shapes online care and what to expect

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.

The right approach often becomes clear together. Mary will work with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying ideas, reviewing what helped, and adjusting the plan as you go.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Different remote session options may suit different needs, so confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits include more flexible appointment times, quicker check-ins when a short meeting will do, and the ability to meet without rearranging a long commute. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep work moving forward between in-person steps when those are needed.
