About Mary

Mary Newbauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She supports those coping with relationship loss, aging, caregiver strain, and the emotions that come with illness or end-of-life situations. Mary writes plainly and listens closely to understand what feels most urgent for each person.

Mary keeps sessions focused on practical steps and steady support.

Background and approach

She uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and daily routine. She also draws on Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns, life stage shifts, and the meanings people attach to loss and change.

Mindfulness practices are included when they fit, to help with grounding and reducing anxiety in the moment. Mary worked for many years supporting people and families at the end of life and brings that experience into other kinds of loss and transition.

That background informs how she talks about aging, caregiver stress, and hospice or cancer-related concerns without assuming any one path forward. Sessions are conversational and calm. Mary aims to create space for honest feeling and steady planning.

She offers a mix of short-term problem-solving and longer work to reshape habits and sense of self, depending on what each person needs.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jungian Therapy looks at life patterns, symbols, and meaning. Online sessions that draw on Jungian ideas often focus on life-stage questions, personal myths, and the inner shifts people notice during grief or midlife changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities; the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers reflective listening to help sort feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to test new behaviors and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what feels most distressing, and what methods seem comfortable. Over a few sessions they will try tools and adjust the plan so it fits needs and preferences rather than assuming one fixed route.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, in-the-moment coping tools, or when typing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving duties, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
