Mary Dashiell

Mary Dashiell is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and eating-related struggles. She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really feel. Mary encourages small steps toward a more satisfying life and stays alongside clients as they make changes.

In sessions she aims to listen closely and help people sort through painful memories, urges, and self-critical thoughts. She often works on practical skills for handling panic, social anxiety, and moments of intense shame or guilt. When isolation or loneliness is a concern, she helps people notice patterns that keep them disconnected and try new ways to reach out and relate.

Mary believes trust grows through simple routines and clear goals. She supports people in naming what they want more of and in practicing small habits that lead there. Forgiveness and self-compassion are frequent themes in her work when clients are trying to move past old hurts.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice in Florida as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. She speaks English. If you think this might fit your needs, confirm current session options before booking to make sure they suit your schedule and preferences.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are practical methods that help people change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. One common approach focuses on skill-building to manage panic and anxiety, teaching breath work, grounding steps, and brief behavioral experiments that reduce overwhelming symptoms. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic memories and their effects so those memories feel less controlling and people can rebuild daily routines and trust in themselves.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That teamwork makes it easier to find techniques that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

For online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, or make it easier to keep regular appointments when travel or work gets in the way. If you want to focus on skills practice, trauma processing, or reducing isolation, online sessions can support those aims while you and the therapist decide which techniques to prioritize.
