About Mary
Mary Hamm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression. She works with adults who are navigating major life changes, parenting stress, postpartum challenges, or feeling disconnected from joy.
Her sessions are shaped around practical, evidence-informed approaches. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address mood and everyday coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of how she helps people clarify values and take small, doable steps forward.
Mary describes her style as client-driven. That means she adapts tools to fit the person in front of her rather than following a single protocol. She also uses motivational interviewing strategies when people need help finding the motivation to change habits or make difficult decisions.
She has considerable experience supporting people with ADHD and chronic stress, and she brings that background into work on sleep, eating, and emotional regulation. Practical skills and short exercises are common in sessions to help with overwhelm and staying present.
Mary places importance on realistic goals. Conversations often focus on identifying one or two concrete changes to try between meetings. Over time those small steps are designed to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.
BHow sessions work
How Mary blends evidence-based methods for online work
Mary commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can be helpful for anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions in line with those values to reduce suffering and build meaning.She also uses Client-Centered principles in her online meetings, which means conversations are guided by the person's own priorities and pace. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - she will help you figure out what fits best based on your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes continuity possible across relocations or schedule changes. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and values-focused tasks to remote sessions so you still have practical tools to try between meetings.
