About Mary
Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Mary also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, chronic illness, parenting strains, ADHD, and LGBT issues.
She takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a client can try between meetings. Mary uses a mix of methods and adjusts her approach based on what helps each person make progress.
Her background includes work in hospice bereavement and community health settings. That experience shaped her interest in supporting people facing loss, serious illness, and caregiver stress. She has also worked with teens and adults in private practice and led support groups.
In sessions she often combines client-centered work with solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas. Mary also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for trauma-related concerns. She may include education about symptoms and practical coping skills when helpful.
People who prefer a direct, collaborative style may find her approach fits well. She invites feedback and adjusts plans if something is not working. Mary encourages honesty about fit and will discuss next steps if the match is not right.
How Mary integrates approaches and online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and building on their strengths to make changes. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used for trauma and distressing memories by processing those memories while following guided bilateral stimulation. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns, relationships, and past influences that affect current feelings and behavior. Each method helps different issues - Client-Centered work suits people wanting straightforward support, EMDR can help with trauma symptoms, and psychodynamic work helps uncover repeating patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss these options with each client and choose or blend methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Many people find remote sessions help them attend more consistently while they balance school, early career demands, and other responsibilities.
