About Mary
Mary Duhon is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Mary aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take steps toward change.
Her work begins by listening to what matters most to the individual. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She helps clients sort through relationship concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Background and approach
Mary also addresses body image, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She uses practical conversations and exercises to build coping skills and improve everyday functioning. The approach is collaborative and paced to fit a person’s comfort level.
Over two decades she has supported people through loss and grief, and through transitions that can feel overwhelming. She encourages small, manageable steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods. The focus is on what can be done now to feel a little better and move forward.
For people who prefer remote care, she offers multiple session formats to match different needs and routines. Mary works in English and welcomes international clients. Starting is a matter of choosing a session style and setting goals together.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Mary draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for stress and anxiety by identifying patterns that keep worries active and practicing new ways to respond. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and loss through guided conversations and activities that honor what was lost while building routines that support everyday life.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and pace that feel manageable and make sense for the person’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit work, family, and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, homework, or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside a busy life.
