About Mary

Dr. Mary Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a decade of clinical experience. She helps people facing eating and sleeping problems, addictions, grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD, career strain, and LGBT-related concerns.

Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small, practical steps each week. She began her career as a high school art teacher and later served as a mentor in church settings. Those roles shaped how she listens and how she notices what a person needs to move forward.

Background and approach

She completed a master’s degree in counseling at Houston Graduate School of Theology and a Ph.D. at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Therapy sessions are conversational and focused on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s lead and build trust.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. She has worked with people who survived childhood abuse and with those coping with dissociation, chronic pain, family of origin issues, abandonment, and adoption and foster care concerns.

She also supports people dealing with emptiness, codependency, commitment or control issues, and caregiver stress. Dr. Walker blends practical skill building with reflective, meaning-focused work.

Sessions often include simple exercises, problem-solving, and mindful awareness practices. She aims to help people find clearer direction and more manageable daily routines.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Existential Therapy helps people reflect on meaning, choice, and role in life. It encourages honest conversation about values and purpose, which can be useful for grief, emptiness, career crossroads, and identity questions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s agenda. It creates space for people to talk through hard topics at their own pace and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and addiction-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust techniques as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools help most for short- and long-term goals.

Online formats offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care when travel or time constraints arise.
