About Mary
Mary Lindsey Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She works with people who need practical support to manage mood, coping, and everyday demands.
Higgins earned her Master’s in Social Work from Western Kentucky University in 2015 and has been in the mental health field since 2009. Her direct work includes helping people with self-esteem, behavioral patterns, grief, bipolar I and II, and addiction-related issues. She combines several therapeutic ideas to match a person’s way of processing and learning.
Her approach centers on the client’s preferences and strengths. That means the methods chosen in sessions follow the person’s own goals and style. Clients can expect straightforward discussion, practical strategies, and attention to how problems show up in daily life.
She uses a mix of client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. These are used to address thinking patterns, motivation for change, managing stress, and reworking personal stories that contribute to problems.
Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps alongside longer-term goals. Higgins also draws on experience with blended family issues, body image, codependency, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and compassion fatigue. If someone is unsure what they want from therapy, she helps clarify next steps and workable goals.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and learning style. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about what matters most and adapts techniques to fit how someone prefers to communicate and process. It helps when goals are practical and linked to daily routines.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include identifying thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses between sessions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and problem habits.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises can be guided in session and practiced afterward to manage stress, anger, and overwhelming emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use appointment times around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
