About Mary

Mary Dashiell is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, and eating-related struggles. Mary aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings without judgment.

She creates a calm, open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and on practical steps to feel steadier between appointments.

Background and approach

Mary listens for patterns that keep problems going and works with each person to try different ways of responding. Mary also addresses worries like panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She supports people who are wrestling with control issues, questions about life purpose, or the process of forgiveness.

Work often includes learning simple skills to manage intense moments and building routines that reduce stress. The approach is collaborative. Mary talks with each person about goals and adjusts the pace to match how ready they feel to change.

She explains options clearly and helps people choose techniques that fit their life. Many sessions include concrete exercises and short practice tasks to try between meetings. Over time the focus is on increasing self-compassion, lowering daily anxiety, and creating coping plans for setbacks.

Mary emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Mary lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Practical approaches and flexible online care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and coping strategies to manage panic attacks and intense anxiety. These tools help reduce the intensity of symptoms and offer ways to respond differently in stressful moments.

Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process painful events at a pace they can handle while building safety and stability. This work often involves learning how the body and mind respond to reminders of past trauma and trying small exercises to change those responses.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk through options, consider each person’s goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to what feels most helpful rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works well for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, chat can suit brief updates, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
