About Mary

Mary Spurlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers therapy on trauma-aware methods and practical skills. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and pain from past abuse. Mary emphasizes a calm, straightforward approach and sees clients as the experts in their own stories.

She typically combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with trauma-focused work and EMDR to address upsetting memories and ongoing symptoms. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build tools for everyday life.

Background and approach

Conversations are direct and aimed at finding what helps each person feel steadier and more capable. Mary has been practicing for 12 years and draws on that experience to tailor each session. She pays attention to how life changes, caregiver strain, and illness can affect mood and relationships.

Topics she often addresses include abandonment worries, compassion fatigue, and survivor issues related to sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. Her work also covers challenges tied to aging, cancer, and first responder stress. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, anger, and intimacy-related concerns while strengthening self-esteem and coping skills.

The goal is to leave with clearer steps and practical strategies. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through multiple formats. Mary encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers a steady, collaborative presence through the process.

How trauma-informed approaches work online

Mary uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can ease anxiety and improve mood when practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered as a trauma-focused option to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past events affect current reactions and on building concrete coping skills to manage triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, comfort level, and pace. Together they set priorities, try approaches, and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
