About Mary

Mary Redding is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people untangle intense feelings and repair important relationships. She draws on 36 years of practice in Mississippi to guide conversations that feel direct and humane. Her style is calm and practical, with attention to what is happening between people and inside a person.

She helps with common pressures like anxiety, stress, grief, and depression. Parents and caregivers can find support for parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress.

Background and approach

Mary also addresses relationship struggles, communication problems, anger, codependency, and commitment worries. Her sessions also cover life transitions such as divorce, career changes, aging, and the impact of trauma or natural disasters. People coping with addiction, ADHD, or compassion fatigue can work on concrete strategies to manage symptoms and day-to-day demands.

She pays attention to how family of origin issues shape current patterns. Mary uses a mix of approaches depending on the person in front of her. She combines attachment-focused ideas with acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive-behavioral tools when those fit.

Conversations are intended to help people notice stuck patterns, practice different responses, and build clearer ways to relate to others. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She offers straightforward guidance, coaching when helpful, and a patient space to try new ways of communicating and coping.

For many people this becomes a path to clearer priorities and more manageable emotion.

Online support

How emotionally focused and acceptance-based work translates online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong emotions and the patterns they form in relationships; online sessions help people notice interactional patterns and practice new responses in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values; online ACT work often uses short exercises and values clarifications that fit between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles shape current relationships and helps people build different interaction habits through reflective conversation. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most and move at a pace that feels manageable. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and practice conversations together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep progress consistent over time.
