About Mary
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 13 years of experience, Mary Cashman focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and depression. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, along with guilt and shame. Mary uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-informed techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day problems.
Mary approaches sessions in a straightforward way. She listens to concerns, helps people name what matters, and works with them to try simple strategies that can change how they think and act. She uses elements of solution-focused work to set concrete, short-term goals when that fits the person's needs.
In practice she breaks issues into manageable steps. That can mean building small coping skills for anxiety, testing different ways to respond in a strained relationship, or creating a routine to ease depressive symptoms. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. When grief or aging-related concerns are present, she helps people talk through loss, role changes, and planning for next steps.
Mary asks people to be active partners in therapy. Sessions focus on real-life changes and short-term skills, balanced with space to process painful emotions. To begin, she guides people through an initial matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How client-centered and cognitive approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the person decide which topics to focus on. This approach is useful when someone needs to sort through feelings or choose practical next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include short exercises and experiments to test different responses, which can reduce anxiety and ease depressive patterns. Mindfulness work teaches noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting immediately, which can lower reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Mary helps people weigh options and selects techniques that match daily life and preferences.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or phone sessions are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and let people avoid travel. Therapists generally adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tasks to work in virtual settings, keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
