FAQs

  • I offer a blend of evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

  • Mary Elizabeth works with teens (16+) and adults across Alabama who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, mental health concerns or desire more support in their everyday life.

  • Virtual therapy (also called online counseling or telehealth therapy) is real therapy, just delivered through a secure video platform. Sessions look and feel much like in-person counseling: you talk, reflect, process and build insight with a licensed therapist - only you are doing it from a space that feels safe and familiar to you.

  • Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person counseling for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Many clients find it even more accessible and consistent, which can support long-term progress.

  • I work with Alabama clients navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma (including C-PTSD), relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Therapy can also be a space for self-exploration, personal growth, and building healthier patterns.

  • I currently accept the following commercial insurance plans:

    • Blue Cross Blue Shield

    • United Healthcare

    • Aetna

    • Humana

    For more information on your specific plan or copay, you will need to contact your insurance company directly.

  • No. We work with clients across the entire state of Alabama—whether you’re in a larger city or a more rural area. Virtual therapy makes it easier to access specialized care regardless of location.

  • All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera (phone, tablet, or computer), and a private space where you can talk freely. Headphones can also help with privacy and focus.

  • Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency. Over time, session frequency can be adjusted based on your needs, goals, and progress.

  • That’s completely okay. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it’s new. We’ll go at your pace, answer your questions, and create a space where you feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
