About Mary
Dr. Mary Weeden is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience. She combines a warm, straightforward way of talking with practical strategies to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating concerns, and low self-esteem.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. That perspective pairs with client-centered care that makes room for each person to be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Her background also includes training and work as a registered nurse, which informs a calm and practical approach to health-related worries. She has worked with issues such as body image, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. Those experiences help her address complex life transitions and overlapping problems.
In sessions, the focus is on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She talks with people about what matters most and helps them build skills they can use outside of therapy. The tone is supportive and nonjudgmental, and progress is measured in everyday improvements.
Dr. Weeden holds LCSW credentials in Illinois and Wisconsin. She offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support
How attachment and practical therapy work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people bond and react now. Online work using that view can help identify patterns and try new ways of relating to yourself and others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person’s goals lead the work; it supports building trust and clear goals over time.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health schedules while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
