About Mary

Mary Yost is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 29 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Her manner is direct and compassionate, and she aims to make therapy feel workable for busy lives.

Mary uses an approach that centers the person rather than a checklist. She listens for what matters most and helps people clarify values, improve communication, and set steps they can actually try between sessions.

Background and approach

Practical skills and honest conversation are common parts of her work. Her background includes long experience supporting people through major life transitions. That includes adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, aging concerns, and the emotional effects of cancer.

She also addresses codependency, commitment questions, and the sense of emptiness that can follow loss or change. Mary combines techniques from several therapeutic styles to fit each person's needs. She draws on methods that help shift unhelpful thinking, build stronger emotional bonds, and encourage committed action toward meaningful goals.

Sessions are grounded and aimed at useful change rather than abstract theory. People come to her to talk through relationship struggles, manage addiction and recovery, rebuild self-worth, or cope with life-altering events. She works in New Hampshire and conducts sessions in English for adults seeking thoughtful, experienced guidance.

Approaches Mary names

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Mary uses Existential therapy to help people examine meaning, values, and life direction. That approach supports work on emptiness, life purpose, and big transitions by encouraging honest reflection and choice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work to address how early patterns affect current relationships. That approach focuses on improving emotional connection, communication, and trust in close relationships. Together these methods aim to balance insight with practical steps people can take between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full sessions and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports quick reflections or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping momentum between meetings.
