About Mary

Mary Schoen is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, based in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She aims to meet people where they are and help them move past what is keeping them stuck. Mary uses a nonjudgmental, accepting approach and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Mary relies on approaches that put the person's experience first. She listens for what matters most and tailors sessions around those goals.

Background and approach

Clients help guide which methods are used, and Mary blends tools to match individual needs. Her practice addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma. She also works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, relationships, and career stress.

Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and coping with major life changes. Sessions often include clear, action-oriented work such as tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of relating, and rehearsing different responses to difficult moments. Mary also draws on acceptance-based skills to help people tolerate hard feelings while pursuing meaningful changes.

Mary has experience providing services in a variety of settings and has added virtual care to her practice. She speaks English and cares about making therapy fit into a person’s life. If someone prefers a gentle, steady guide who adjusts methods to fit real needs, Mary may be a good match.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Mary uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns in close relationships and to build more supported ways of connecting. That approach looks at how past relationship experiences shape present reactions and teaches practical steps for changing those patterns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy guides much of her manner in sessions, emphasizing empathetic listening and following the person’s lead to set goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that seem most helpful. She adjusts strategies over time based on what actually helps the person make progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing relational skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer brief exchanges, step-by-step coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
