About Mary
Mary Ringer is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 27 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Her background includes long clinical practice supporting people through grief, relationship ruptures, and the stress that comes from caregiving or life transitions. Over time she has worked with many clients who feel stuck by shame or guilt and helps them name how those feelings show up day to day.

CBT and practical work for online sessions
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so people can try specific changes and see what helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and relationship stress.She focuses on clear, testable steps rather than long explanations. That means setting simple goals, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what worked. Finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which techniques to try and adjust them based on what feels useful.
This profile does not specify which session formats Mary offers, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also removes the need to travel and can make attending regular sessions easier to maintain alongside daily life.
