About Mary

Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 45 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, and related concerns. Her manner is calm and direct, with a focus on practical skills that people can use between sessions.

Mary blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Jungian therapy to explore personal meaning and symbols, client-centered methods to prioritize the person's voice, and cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Her background includes decades in varied clinical settings and work with diverse populations. That experience informs how she tailors care for issues like first responder and veteran-related trauma, substance use, family of origin concerns, and complex grief.

She values helping people learn about how stress and traumatic experiences can affect thinking and the body. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools. Mary aims to teach concrete skills, support emotional processing, and help people build resources for future challenges.

She encourages questions and makes space for the person to set the pace. Mary works with adults residing in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Approaches Mary names

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Mary uses Jungian therapy to help people explore personal symbols, dreams, and meaning. That approach can be useful for clients who want to understand deeper patterns and life themes that show up again and again.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and emphasizes empathy and listening. This helps build trust and lets people set the pace for what they want to address. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool she brings in to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice clear, manageable behavior changes for problems like anxiety, depression, or addiction.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Mary works with each person to weigh options, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The goal is to match techniques to someone’s priorities and daily life rather than rely on a single method.

Online work can fit into busy schedules by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and messaging or live chat allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
