About Mary
Mary Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia with 36 years of practice experience. She goes by Beth Sanders and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, and coping with life changes.
She uses a relational approach that centers how people connect with others. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and barriers. She explains coping and communication skills in plain terms and works with people to set practical goals for change.
Mary describes her work as grounded and direct. She pays attention to time and aims to help clients use sessions efficiently. She also draws on a spiritual perspective when clients wish to include that element in sessions, and she does not approach therapy as religiously based unless a client wants that.
Her practice includes support around addictions, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, grief, and patterns such as codependency and impulsivity. She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, dissociation, and co-morbidity issues.
Mary emphasizes collaboration. She helps people notice patterns in relationships, practice new ways of talking, and try small behavioral experiments between sessions. The work is practical and relationship-focused, with attention to what can be changed in day-to-day life.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Mary uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on a person's experience and priorities. That means sessions pay attention to what matters most to the client and build practical steps from there. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize patterns in close relationships and work on changing interaction cycles that keep stress and conflict going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss what fits best with a client's goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. The decision is collaborative and based on what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and try new communication or coping strategies between sessions.
