Dr. Mary Jane Preece

Dr. Mary Jane Preece is a licensed counselor who brings two decades of experience to sessions in Ohio. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She uses a calm, mindful stance to guide practical steps forward. Her background includes long work with burnout, grief, trauma and career strain. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship patterns that keep repeating. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can use between sessions. Dr. Preece combines mindfulness practices with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to what matters most to each person, helps identify unhelpful thoughts, and practices simple skills to reduce overwhelm. She draws on dialectical behavior ideas and existential questions when those fit the situation. Her license credentials are LPC and LPCC, and she has about 20 years of professional experience working in Ohio. Sessions focus on building resilience, clearer decision-making, and healthier ways of coping with everyday stressors. People who come for help are invited to set goals and try steps that match their life. The tone in sessions is respectful and practical. She supports clients as they work toward steadier mood, better boundaries, and stronger self-understanding.

Mindfulness and skills-based approaches for online care

Mindfulness Therapy centers on bringing gentle attention to the present moment to reduce rumination and overwhelm. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions by training awareness and simple grounding practices.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It creates space for clients to set the pace and goals of their work while feeling heard and respected.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical changes in thinking and behavior. It is often used for worry, low mood, and building problem-solving skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dr. Preece works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and encourages feedback about what is useful.
