Mary Snyder, LPCC

Mary Snyder, LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), brings 15 years of counseling experience to her work helping people untangle feelings of unhappiness and find practical paths forward. She approaches counseling as a collaborative process in which the individual is the foremost expert on their own life while the therapist contributes observations and evidence-based techniques suited to the situation. Mary frames her role as a guide to inner exploration, offering perspective, support, and ideas so clients can see their options more clearly and create solutions that fit their circumstances.

Her background includes work in community counseling centers, support for foster families, and providing counseling services on military installations across the United States and in Germany. She offers care for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and communication problems, anger issues, stage-of-life and adjustment challenges, goal-setting, and career-related concerns. Mary provides both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term, in-depth counseling when situations require more extensive attention.

In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and encouraging, combining client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. Many people who work with her report greater clarity, improved satisfaction, and better coping with life changes. Mary helps clients explore what is getting in the way of a more fulfilling life and supports them in discovering practical, individualized ways to move forward.
