Mary ArchibaldLMHC

Mary Archibald is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, postpartum depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She focuses on practical steps that ease daily strain. Her work also addresses relationship concerns, self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Mary brings a calm, steady presence and aims to help clients move toward clearer goals.

Mary combines practical talk therapy with several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and create small behavior changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolkit for trauma processing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness strategies are woven in to help people live in line with their values.

Her background spans more than 31 years in mental health practice, and she holds a PhD in Psychology in addition to her LMHC credential. Mary has long worked with military and veteran communities and brings that experience to issues that arise during life transitions. She also highlights multicultural concerns and prejudice or discrimination as areas she pays attention to.

Mary describes herself as a faith-based clinician who invites clients to include their beliefs in therapy when they wish. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, focusing on steps people can use between sessions. She emphasizes walking alongside clients through difficult moments toward greater stability.

People interested in starting can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that balance skills practice, trauma work when needed, and values-based planning.

Approaches that translate to online care

Mary often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, which can ease anxiety and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate. EMDR helps people process disturbing memories so they feel less overwhelming and can be paired with other approaches for a fuller plan.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients are encouraged to offer feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, skip travel time, or have shorter check-ins on a work break. It also supports ongoing skills practice and trauma processing when regular attendance is helpful. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and techniques to fit each person’s routine and goals.
