About Mary
Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her practice also addresses communication problems, control issues, life purpose, mood disorders, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Mary focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions combine talking through patterns with tools to manage distress. She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs rather than a single fixed method.
Her work often includes cognitive-behavioral exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s experience. For people who carry painful memories, she may use EMDR techniques as part of processing those experiences.
Mary pays attention to how past relationships and life stories shape present feelings. That perspective draws on psychodynamic ideas about patterns that repeat over time. Mindfulness practices appear in sessions when slowing down and noticing the body helps reduce distress.
She aims to help people sort through guilt and shame without judgment. That means naming what keeps someone stuck, trying small changes, and checking what helps in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions can keep that straightforward conversation and use questions that clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior, such as tracking patterns, testing new actions, and using short between-session exercises to build different habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress tied to specific memories by guiding attention while processing painful material; when EMDR is used it is integrated into the session plan and follows a paced approach.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose methods together. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress unfolds.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for different rhythms such as quieter check-ins or camera-free conversations. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques for remote work so exercises, worksheets, and tracking can be used between sessions to support daily life.
