Mary Cole , LPC

Mary Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can explore emotions, identify recurring patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies. Her work addresses emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, past trauma, and a range of relationship and life stressors, with attention to building long-term resilience and security in relationships.

Using a structured yet compassionate approach, she helps clients develop emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings, reshape relationship patterns to encourage healthier connections, and strengthen boundaries to reduce people-pleasing tendencies. She also teaches mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. Mary blends practical strategies with self-exploration to support meaningful change.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, focused on helping individuals gain self-awareness, confidence in decision-making, and greater emotional stability. Clients often report feeling more empowered and understood as they practice new skills and move away from unhelpful patterns, cultivating a stronger sense of inner calm and clearer relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mary Cole uses evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online formats, beginning with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, providing practical tools for mood disorders, panic, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed therapists regardless of location.
