More about Mary

- LPC
I am a Licensed Processional Counselor with Mental Service Provider designation in the state of Tennessee. I have been practicing for eight years in a variety of treatment settings. I have experience working with adults and adolescents both in individual and group sessions. I also have experience working with families. Most of my experience has been treating substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
I am a nonjudgmental and empathetic clinician. I always put my client’s needs first and meet them where they are at in life. I understand beginning therapy can be challenging and even scary. I always strive to make therapy a positive experience as well as helping you achieve your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mary has been incredibly helpful in my journey toward a life of lower anxiety as well as helping me navigate very difficult situations. I really like her approach and am very much stronger now than when I began with her. I highly recommend Mary.
Mary Johnston has been extremely helpful in my journey towards better mental health both for my family but especially my career. When I started with Mary I hated my job and struggled daily. I now have learned to appreciate my job and what it allows for me and my family and that new perspective has made my career start to blossom. I highly recommend.
She is a wonderful therapist and a wonderful person. In the sessions we had she provided a lot of reassurance and relief to my acute panic and anxiety symptoms. I would truly recommend her to anybody :)
Mary made me feel comfortable. She helped me look at things in a different perspective. Very empathic and knowledgeable.
