About Mary
Dr. Mary Fields helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward style for people facing depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, or questions about identity and intimacy.
Her approach is practical and conversational, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable. Dr. Fields is a psychologist licensed in Colorado and North Carolina, and she brings three years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single formula. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on steps that can be tried between meetings. She commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness techniques are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity when that feels useful. Many clients come with complex problems such as trauma, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, or issues linked to adoption and attachment. Dr.
Fields treats those concerns by breaking them into smaller, workable pieces and by building coping skills that fit daily routines. Her manner is warm and reflective, with an emphasis on collaboration. People who value a conversational therapist who also gives concrete tools often find this approach helpful.
She balances exploration of meaning with practical steps toward feeling better. Outside of practice she spends time outdoors with family and enjoys reading thrillers and playing with her cat.

How Narrative and CBT Work Online
Dr. Fields often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe difficult life stories. This approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and finds alternative, more empowering ways to describe their experiences. It can help with identity concerns, grief, and relationship challenges.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Mindfulness techniques may be added to strengthen attention and reduce reactivity when needed.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. This process is meant to be flexible and responsive to your needs.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to use therapeutic tools in everyday life.
