About Mary
Dr. Mary Torok is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, and blended family issues.
She uses practical talk and teaching in sessions. That includes clear strategies from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based approaches. She also draws on client-centered listening and emotion-focused ideas to help people name what matters and notice patterns that get in the way.
Mary has worked in a range of settings, including clinical, classroom, residential, outpatient, and in-home environments. That range informs a pragmatic style that mixes skills practice with problem-solving and education. She often helps people with communication, conflict management, and building routines that fit a busy household.
Her work includes attention to trauma and attachment concerns, and she supports people affected by addiction, identity questions, and complex family dynamics. She also helps with sleep problems, career stress, and some neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD when those issues intersect with daily life.
Sessions emphasize short-term tools and longer-term behavior changes. People leave with specific skills to try between meetings. To begin, users should follow the site steps to view online therapy options, complete the brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Torok uses cognitive behavioral work to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT gives short exercises and practical tools for things like anxiety, sleep, and stress that can be used between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them even when difficult feelings show up. That approach can help with life changes, grief, and relationship choices in blended households.
Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test techniques that fit their daily life and preferences. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values work, or emotion-focused conversation.
