Getting to know Mary Whalen

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults and young adults seeking supportive space to better understand themselves and navigate life's challenges. I work with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and periods of transition or uncertainty. Whether navigating college, early adulthood, career decisions, changing relationships, or the next chapter of life, therapy can help clients gain perspective, clarify what matters and move forward with confidence. I also draw on my past experience working with children and teens to help parents strengthen connection and communication. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and engaged, while also being direct when helpful. I believe therapy can be meaningful and challenging without always feeling heavy and I often incorporate appropriate humor, warmth, and a genuine sense of humanity into our work. I use an integrative model that incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Our work often focuses on clarifying values, building coping strategies, improving relationships and making changes that feel realistic. I strive to provide a non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and respected while developing tools they can use in their everyday lives. I offer teletherapy to adults located in North Carolina.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
