Mary Pruett, LCSW

Mary Pruett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana and Virginia with 26 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on body image, communication problems, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Mary writes plainly and addresses everyday pressures around work, relationships, and health.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying what interferes with daily life, and trying manageable steps to change patterns. She pays attention to how stress and habits affect motivation and confidence. Conversations aim to be direct and useful rather than theoretical.

Mary draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, using methods that match a person’s situation and goals. She helps people recognize triggers for anxiety or addictive behavior, practice new ways of coping, and work on communication skills for tense relationships. Panic symptoms and trauma responses are handled with clear, paced strategies.

In-session work may include skill-building, behavior changes, and problem-solving tailored to routine life demands. She talks with clients about realistic steps to manage stress at home and at work. Progress is tracked in concrete terms like improved sleep, fewer panic episodes, or clearer conversations with others.

People who want practical help with day-to-day struggles and clearer coping strategies often choose to work with her. Mary keeps focus on what can be changed now and how small steps can reduce pressure over time.
