Licensed Mental Health Counselor - blended family and grief support

  • Client-centered work
  • EMDR for trauma
  • Solution-focused goals

About Mary

Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on common stresses people face, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and challenges that come with major life changes. Mary also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus and works with people managing parenting questions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT matters.

Mary uses a flexible, client-centered way of working. Sessions are practical and guided by what the person says is helping. She listens for immediate worries and for patterns that repeat, then tries different strategies until something fits.

Her toolkit includes client-centered Therapy, EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape present behavior, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Mary has experience offering grief and bereavement support from hospice work, and she has worked with children and teens in community health settings as part of broader clinical roles.

Mary earned a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and holds the Florida LMHC credential. She describes her approach as adaptable and values honest feedback so treatment can change if it isn’t working. Her personal experience with serious illness also informs how she supports people dealing with chronic or terminal conditions.

People who contact her will complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and Mary uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Mary uses client-centered therapy and EMDR as part of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities, with the counselor reflecting what the client says and helping them find their own solutions. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That collaboration means trying different techniques and checking in about what is helping as sessions progress.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone avoid camera use if they prefer audio only or choose times that are more convenient around caregiving or work commitments.
