About Mary

Mary Ann Yarbrough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who focuses on helping people recognize and build on their inner strengths. She approaches therapy with empathy and respect, offering a neutral space to listen and reflect while supporting each person to guide their own growth. Mary Ann emphasizes meeting clients where they are and values a collaborative relationship that is built through genuineness, care, and trust.

With six years of clinical experience, Mary Ann has supported adolescents with behavioral health challenges and young adults navigating major life transitions. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and self-esteem and body-image struggles. Her practice places importance on strengthening coping skills and ensuring adequate social supports to help clients manage difficult moments.

Mary Ann aims to help people move forward from pain and struggle toward the goals they set for their lives. As an LCSW, she combines evidence-based techniques with a client-centered stance so individuals can explore their stories, process emotions, and develop practical strategies for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mary Ann integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client as the expert in their own life; it is useful for building trust and exploring personal values and goals. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be particularly useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and managing crises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary Ann works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she tailors methods so the work fits each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client while still engaging with licensed professionals and evidence-informed therapeutic methods.
