About Mary
Mary Yost is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 29 years of experience. She works with adults who face depression, addiction concerns, relationship problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people struggling with low self-esteem and the lingering effects of family, faith, or past choices.
Her work covers a wide range of life situations. That includes adoption and foster care matters, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and issues tied to aging. She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, and feelings of emptiness that can follow major life changes.
Mary uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to explore relationship patterns and personal experience.
Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life application. Clients work on communication, commitment issues, and coping strategies for substance use or relapse triggers. Conversations can include rebuilding intimacy, managing relationship conflict, or navigating separation and divorce.
Her background supports long-term and acute concerns alike. With nearly three decades of practice in New Hampshire, she combines varied therapeutic tools with steady clinical experience to help people carry less guilt and shame about who they are or what happened.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then move toward actions that matter to them. It is often useful for depression, shame, and relationship avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems alive and on practicing concrete changes to improve mood and interactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can guide work on intimacy and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary will work collaboratively to test methods and decide what fits a person’s goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan as needed.
The original biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Remote meetings can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to online conversation and exercises to help clients practice new ways of thinking and relating.
