About Mary
Mary Acosta-Granger is an LCSW based in Texas who focuses on helping adults who are ready to make change.

Background and approach
Sessions are person-centered and practical, with tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Mary uses clear, straightforward techniques so people can try skills between appointments. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered work and draws on other approaches such as the Gottman Method and mindfulness when they suit the situation.
That mix helps address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and communication habits. The focus is on small steady changes that add up to better coping and more satisfying relationships. Mary has worked across a wide range of concerns, from serious mental illness to everyday stressors.
Her style is respectful, empathic, and nonjudgmental. She partners with clients who are motivated to set goals and practice new ways of handling problems. People who choose her often want direct, practical help for handling emotions, improving communication, or managing life changes.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online treatment
Mary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person's own goals so people feel understood and lead the pace of change.She also draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction patterns when those skills are relevant. The Gottman approach emphasizes practical ways to improve conversation, repair conflict, and rebuild connection in close relationships. All of these methods are described and chosen together so the approach fits each person's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
