About Mary

Mary Spurlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their own story best and that personal strengths are central to overcoming life’s challenges. Mary works with clients facing depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and transitions such as caregiving or aging, and she has particular experience with trauma, abuse, abandonment, cancer-related stress, and first responder issues.

Her approach emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper work to process painful experiences like sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and complicated grief. Mary offers a steady, collaborative presence to help clients build resilience and clearer relationships while addressing guilt, shame, and the emotional impacts of caregiving or chronic illness. As an LPC – a credential that authorizes clinical counseling practice in Texas – she combines trauma-focused methods and evidence-based strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Mary conducts therapy in English and aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented space where clients can take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and improving everyday coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be helpful for people dealing with traumatic experiences and post-traumatic stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how traumatic events affect emotions, relationships, and behavior, and on building skills to regain a sense of safety and direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust plans over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it possible to fit care into busy schedules or manage transitions in life. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of support, adapt pace to the client’s comfort, and offer multiple ways to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
