Dr. Mary Jane Preece, LPC, LPCC

Dr. Mary Jane Preece uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard seasons. She focuses on practical coping skills and clear goals. Mary Jane is an LPC and LPCC with twenty years of experience in Ohio. She speaks English and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, depression, ADHD, and related concerns.

In sessions she listens closely and helps people sort what matters most. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. Mindfulness and existential ideas inform conversations about meaning, values, and next steps.

Her work often supports people managing health-related challenges, caregiver strain, chronic pain, and major life changes. She offers coaching-style guidance when clients want more direction for career or parenting decisions. The focus is on skills that can be used between appointments.

She has particular experience with trauma, family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, fertility and cancer-related stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to increase everyday functioning and reduce overwhelming emotions through step-by-step practice.

Mary Jane invites clients to set clear goals and to test small changes in daily life. She keeps language straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn quickly. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's calendar.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and shaping sessions around what the person brings. Online work can keep that same emphasis by letting conversations follow the client's priorities and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical skills. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments people try between meetings to see what changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These tools can be taught and practiced remotely and then used in real-world moments between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when you book. Many people find online work helpful because it makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and supports repeating skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep focus on practical strategies and everyday change without promising specific outcomes.
