About Mary
Mary Newbauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 27 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with major life changes including aging and end-of-life matters.
Mary works with people facing loss of many kinds - bereavement, divorce, the end of a significant relationship, or losses tied to aging and illness. She also addresses addictions, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice includes support for caregivers and those navigating cancer or hospice-related stress.
Her approach emphasizes listening and practical guidance. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify manageable steps forward. She uses client-centered conversation to understand each person, and she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Mindfulness tools and solution-focused work are used to build coping skills and short-term progress. Mary also brings psychodynamic and Jungian ideas into longer-term work when helpful, connecting present struggles with past patterns and personal meaning.
Clients can expect straightforward, experience-based support. Mary describes her role as offering an attentive presence, active listening, and practical strategies shaped by years working with people at the end of life. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's online intake to match and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches Mary Uses and how they fit online
Mary commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's own priorities and the therapist follows the client's lead to clarify concerns and goals. This approach helps with sorting through feelings after loss and making decisions about next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills because it breaks problems into concrete steps.
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to build moment-to-moment coping skills and reduce reactivity. These practices can help when stress, grief, or caregiving demands make it hard to concentrate or rest.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what is most important and adjusts strategies over time rather than insisting on one method.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people join from wherever they are. Ask about the available formats and typical session length when you schedule.
