About MaryBeth
LCSW in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience, MaryBeth Underwood helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on building self-love and confidence. MaryBeth names client strengths as a foundation for change and asks people to view themselves as experts on their own stories.
MaryBeth works in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on identifying what is most distressing now, naming small goals, and choosing steps that can be tried between meetings. She emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theories. Conversations are paced to fit each person's comfort level.
She listens for existing abilities and life experience that can be used to manage cravings, reduce worry, or improve communication with others. When relationship patterns cause strain, she helps people notice what repeats and what could change. For mood or self-worth concerns, she breaks down negative thinking into specific habits to work on together.
MaryBeth describes the client as the expert in their story and treats her role as a guide who offers feedback, techniques, and accountability. Sessions combine practical skill-building with reflection on choices and values. Progress is tracked in small, observable steps so people can see what helps.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The intake process is straightforward and focused on the immediate concerns someone brings.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
MaryBeth describes her work as practical and skills-based, and that approach translates to remote sessions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. They help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem by breaking problems into clear, testable steps. Behavioral strategies for addictions target routines and triggers and introduce alternative actions to reduce use and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. MaryBeth collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try first based on their goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts methods over time so the plan fits changing needs.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when juggling work or caregiving. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and first appointment so sessions can be arranged to match routines and practical needs.
