Mary Blair, LPC

Integrating Internal Work and Somatic Awareness Online

Mary uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients recognize and relate to the different parts of themselves, fostering internal cooperation and greater self-leadership; this approach can be helpful for issues like trauma, relationship patterns, and emotional overwhelm. She also incorporates somatic therapy which pays attention to bodily sensations and movement as a way to process stress, trauma, and chronic tension, offering tools to regulate the nervous system and increase present-moment awareness. Additionally, her client-centered orientation emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapeutic path reflects each person's values and goals.

Determining the right combination of methods is part of the work itself, and Mary approaches that decision collaboratively. She will explore a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest ways to blend IFS, somatic, mindfulness, or psychodynamic elements so the plan fits the person rather than imposing a single technique.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the mode of interaction that feels most comfortable, supporting regular practice and steady progress over time.
