About Mary

Mary "Jackie" Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what you bring to a session. Jackie focuses on practical steps you can try right away and on building from strengths you already have.

Jackie begins by asking what has helped you in the past and what still feels useful now.

Background and approach

She pays attention to childhood and recent trauma, attention challenges, mood concerns, and the daily pressures that wear people down. Sessions often include talking through patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. Her work draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused ideas, and trauma-focused practices.

That mix lets her match methods to each person's needs instead of using the same plan for everyone. Jackie has helped parents facing the strain of raising children, people navigating trouble at work, and those coping with loss or long-term stress. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, substance use concerns, and the effects of shame and guilt.

Sessions are offered from Wyoming and are conducted in English. Jackie aims to create a straightforward, supportive space where people can try out new responses and move toward clearer goals.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings, which can shift how they relate to themselves and to others; it can be useful for processing loss, attachment concerns, and emotional patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, with the therapist offering respectful listening and reflection to help people figure out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or depression symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on current needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. That means plans can change as progress is made or as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing, which can be helpful for reflection or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days while using approaches that focus on emotion, strengths, and practical change.
