About Mary
Mary Redding is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people through family and parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, and everyday life changes. Her work often centers on improving communication, managing anger, and building self-esteem so people can move forward with more confidence.
She uses a person-centered style that adapts to each client's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Mary draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and notice what matters most.
Mary also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape current behavior. That perspective can help with attachment issues, abandonment, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She combines these with dialectical skills when people need tools for emotion regulation and crisis coping.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through trauma, domestic violence, divorce, and recovery from substance use. She helps with career and life-stage transitions as well as compassion fatigue and burnout. The practice emphasizes steady support, clear communication skills, and realistic goals.
Mary offers straightforward coaching-style work when clients want goal-focused sessions. She helps people plan next steps, try new behaviors, and evaluate what works. Before scheduling, she asks about each person’s situation so sessions match their needs and pace.
