Mary Dziedzinski

Mary Dziedzinski is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Mary aims to meet people where they are and offers steady support as they take steps toward change.

Her work is practical and straightforward. She listens carefully, then tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing, whether that is coping with loss, rebuilding confidence, or managing day-to-day stress.

Mary also pays attention to issues that can make life harder over time. She has worked with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, isolation and loneliness, and workplace difficulties. She addresses problems like codependency, communication struggles, and feelings of guilt and shame with patience and clarity.

People facing end-of-life questions or hospice and end-of-life counseling needs can bring those concerns to sessions. Mary talks through practical worries and the emotional side of these situations, helping people find meaning and make decisions that match their values.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports people in small, achievable steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the listed availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional support. One common approach is helping people build skills to manage stress and anxiety through clear strategies for daily routines, coping tools, and step-by-step practice that reduce overwhelm. Another emphasis is on grief and loss work, where conversations focus on processing emotions, remembering what matters, and creating manageable plans for decision-making and caregiving tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then choose or adapt techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process meant to match methods to what actually helps the individual in their life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from a convenient location. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will work best for your routine and the kinds of support you want.
