About Mary
Dr. Mary Weeden is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of practice. She draws on long experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and eating concerns.
Her approach is calm and straightforward, focused on clear goals and small steps that fit each person’s life. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they’re feeling and thinking. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer understanding rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that feels manageable. Her background includes clinical social work across Illinois and Wisconsin and prior work as a registered nurse. That mix of perspectives informs a practical approach to mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the ups and downs of caregiving and aging.
She is comfortable addressing body image, eating and food-related issues, and the emotional impact of life transitions. Therapy draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversations, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical and emotionally focused techniques are used when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are central to the struggle.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People who meet with her can expect steady, plainspoken guidance and help building tools for daily life. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more confidence in handling difficult moments.

Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current feelings and relationship patterns. It helps people understand connection and trust issues so they can try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy zeroes in on emotions in relationships and personal life, helping people name strong feelings and respond to them more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Approaches may be blended and adjusted over time so the plan fits changing needs and progress stays realistic.
Online therapy is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when someone prefers writing instead of talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
