Mary Buntin, LCSW

Mary Buntin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years of experience. She helps people manage grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and large life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.

Mary pays special attention to transitions into later life and the challenges of aging. She supports people who are becoming older adults and those dealing with chronic illness or pain. Caregivers who feel overwhelmed or worn down by compassion fatigue can find a space to talk and regain perspective.

Her work emphasizes the relationship a person has with themselves. She looks for strengths and positive traits a person may not notice. Sessions aim to build on those strengths to address guilt, shame, isolation, and self-worth issues.

Mary uses straightforward conversations to help people sort priorities and set small goals. She listens for realistic ways to cope with anxiety, midlife shifts, or ongoing health issues. Her approach is supportive and empowering rather than directive.

People who choose Mary can expect calm guidance through difficult changes. She offers steady support while helping clients discover practical coping strategies. If you want help facing loss, caregiving pressures, or the emotional side of aging, she can work with you to find a clearer path forward.

How evidence-based approaches can help online

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways to help people manage strong emotions and complex life changes. For example, one common approach focuses on identifying strengths and building small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach involves guided conversations about grief and loss that help people make sense of what happened and find ways to remember and adjust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs, then suggest methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time to find what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep up with regular appointments while managing caregiving duties or health limitations.
