Dr. Mary Weeden

Dr. Mary Weeden is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience. She combines a background in nursing with long-term work in mental health to help people facing eating and food-related issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Her approach centers on steady support and practical steps rather than quick fixes.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on small changes that build over time. She listens for patterns in relationships, self-image, and behavior that contribute to ongoing struggles.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person's goals front and center. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Dr. Weeden has particular experience with body image, caregiver stress, abandonment concerns, and end-of-life and hospice related issues. She supports people dealing with co-occurring mood disorders and helps untangle family of origin patterns that affect daily life.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's readiness for change. She encourages practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steady emotional regulation so clients can move toward a more manageable and fulfilling day-to-day life.

Approach-driven online care that fits daily life

Dr. Weeden uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. That approach helps when worry, abandonment concerns, or body image issues are tied to how a person learned to connect with others. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift thoughts and routines that keep problems in place, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and eating-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Goals and methods are revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone use video or phone in ways that suit their energy, bandwidth, and need for a quieter setting. Licensed professionals adapt sessions so the work stays focused and practical even when done remotely.
