About Mary

Prof. Mary Streit is a licensed psychologist in New York who brings 11 years of experience as an educator, counselor, and life coach. She uses a conversational, interactive style to help people name next steps and move toward clearer goals.

Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at parents and people facing career and relationship challenges. She often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.

Background and approach

That approach pairs well with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can change day-to-day patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices also appear in her work. These approaches help people notice difficult feelings, make values-based choices, and build habits that support a more meaningful life.

Sessions mix discussion with brief exercises to practice between meetings. Mary also offers life coaching focused on career direction, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and women’s issues. Coaching conversations aim to clarify priorities, set realistic steps, and track progress over time.

Her style is interactive and questions are direct but supportive. She encourages honest responses so clients can discover their own answers and take action. To begin, readers follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a session based on availability.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Mary directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online sessions

Online sessions often include Narrative Therapy, which helps people notice the stories they live by and try new ways of understanding their experiences. This approach can be useful for parents rethinking old patterns or professionals shifting career narratives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common approach she uses; it teaches practical steps to move toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices are used alongside ACT to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to build simple habits that support daily functioning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying different techniques when needed. Sessions focus on real-world actions and small experiments so people can see what helps between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversation and interactive exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and texting supports ongoing reminders or brief coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into a busy life.
