About Mary
Mary Yost is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 29 years of experience helping people through hard life moments. She focuses on depression, addiction recovery, relationship and intimacy concerns, and rebuilding self-esteem. Mary works with adults facing transitions, caregiving burdens, and ongoing health or disability challenges.
Her approach is typically person-centered and flexible. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and small, doable steps. Sessions often include practical skills for communication, coping with stress, and managing cravings or low mood.
Mary blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build a life that matters despite discomfort.
Attachment-based work helps people understand patterns in close relationships and change how they connect. Dialectical behavior therapy offers tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Client-centered principles keep the work grounded in the client’s pace and priorities.
She has helped people navigate adoption and foster-care questions, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain or illness, cancer-related stress, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Mary also supports those coping with trauma, communication breakdowns, and issues around commitment and intimacy.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Mary uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and focus on what matters. CBT teaches straightforward skills for spotting automatic thoughts and testing them. ACT supports making values-based choices and learning to live with discomfort while taking meaningful action.She also works from attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and to change how they connect. These approaches are practical and can be adapted to a remote setting, with work that includes skill practice, homework, and checking progress together.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the work stays focused on real-life struggles like communication problems, cravings, or persistent low mood.
This therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are more practical.
