About Mary
Dr. Mary Moran is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in mental health and substance use care. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Utah and a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia.
Dr. Moran practices in Washington and brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Her background includes long experience as a clinical supervisor for social workers and mental health counselors.
Background and approach
That supervisory work sharpened her focus on clear goals and measurable steps in therapy. She also has training in trauma-informed approaches and works with many concerns related to addiction and post-traumatic stress. In the therapy room she uses familiar methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy.
She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a core concern. Her approach mixes problem-solving tools with attention to feelings and life context. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace.
She helps people name realistic goals and then practices new skills together. Expect focused conversations about thoughts, behaviors, and how daily life shapes mood and stress. Dr.
Moran also addresses broader life issues like career strain, caregiving stress, aging concerns, grief, and codependency. She supports people coping with midlife transitions, family-of-origin difficulties, and eating or mood concerns. Her aim is to help clients build clearer choices and workable routines that fit their lives.

Online support
Therapeutic Approaches Online and How They Help
Dr. Moran uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is goal-focused and often involves practicing specific skills between sessions.She also offers Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her and builds understanding through active listening and reflection. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process feelings and make sense of life changes.
The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are a main concern; it looks at interaction habits and teaches skills for better communication and repair. When appropriate, these techniques are combined with other methods to match each person's goals.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to pace the work.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is often used for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity between meetings.
