About Mary
Dr. Mary Fawcett is a licensed professional counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of experience in counseling and counselor education. She brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and codependency.
Her background includes long experience training and supervising other counselors. That background influences how she organizes sessions: clear goals, steady feedback, and space to talk through hard feelings. She uses a mix of methods to match the person in front of her rather than one fixed style.
In a session she listens closely and asks questions that help uncover patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to follow the client’s lead and build on their strengths.
She also uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to support people ready to make changes. These tools help with things like coping with life transitions, managing chronic illness, or recovering from relationship hurt. She frames work as collaborative and practical.
Dr. Fawcett aims to create a respectful and nonjudgmental space. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on what the person wants to change. If someone is ready to take a step toward a different life, she offers steady support and clear steps to move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Fawcett commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, following the client's lead, and helping people build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to shift them.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them. Mindfulness can support managing anxiety, coping with chronic illness, and reducing reactivity in relationships. These approaches are explained and tried together so the therapist and client can see what fits best.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Fawcett collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities change.
