Getting to know Mary Beth McDermott

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide compassionate, goal-oriented therapy for adults, seniors, and couples, helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is supportive and practical, using evidence-based methods to foster emotional growth and lasting change. My approach My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in practical strategies. I draw from cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapies to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Sessions are a space for you to feel heard, gain insight, and develop tools that support real-life change at your own pace. My focus I work with adults of all ages—from those navigating early adulthood to seniors facing later-life transitions. Many of my clients are managing anxiety, grief, health challenges, caregiving stress, or relationship concerns. I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, gain clarity, and build strategies to feel more grounded and empowered. My communication style My communication style is compassionate, calm, and down-to-earth. In our telehealth sessions, I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported. I offer honest feedback with care and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began through years of working in hospice, hospitals, nursing facilities, and inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse settings. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of the emotional challenges people face at every stage of life. I was drawn to therapy because I wanted to offer more than crisis care—I wanted to build ongoing, supportive relationships that help people find clarity, healing, and resilience. My goals for you I help clients identify what matters most to them and break those goals down into manageable steps.
