About Mary

Dr. Mary Louise Inzerillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through the immediate problem. Conversations center on what is happening now, how feelings like guilt or shame show up, and what steps someone can try between sessions.

In her background she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she uses a mix of skills training, values-focused work, and attention to relationship patterns. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and test small changes in everyday life.

Mary Louise works with people who are navigating major life changes, chronic health challenges, caregiving strain, or difficult relationship dynamics. She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment issues, attachment problems, and blended family stress. Her approach is steady and direct, aimed at clear, manageable steps.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and recurring self-critical thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and helps people try different ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Mary Louise will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer.

The practical benefit of working online is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around caregiving, work, or medical needs. If you plan to use video or phone, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find online sessions allow shorter check-ins, easier follow-up between meetings, and consistent access when travel or location change would otherwise interrupt care.
