About Mary
Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, career stress, and issues like ADHD or bipolar mood concerns.
Mary also focuses on chronic and terminal illness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and the strain of caregiving. Her style is warm and practical.
Background and approach
She offers a judgment-free space and invites client feedback. Sessions are flexible and shaped around what is actually helpful for each person. Mary aims to meet people where they are and work toward clear, manageable goals.
Mary draws on several therapy methods and adapts them to each client. She uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to build on strengths and to set concrete steps forward. She also incorporates psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time and EMDR for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate.
Her background includes a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and three years of experience as a clinician. Mary has worked in hospice bereavement support, community health settings with children and teens, and in independent practice. Personal experience with cancer influenced her interest in chronic illness and caregiving concerns.
Sessions can address a wide range of specific concerns such as abandonment, postpartum depression, isolation, communication problems, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer direction.
Therapy approaches and online care that adapt to your needs
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals and make changes that feel right for them.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for people who struggle with memories or trauma that keep coming up. It involves guided processing of those memories to reduce their emotional intensity and help clients move forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend which approach or mix of approaches might work best. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera doesn’t fit the moment. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, day-to-day coping, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or health-related schedules and to continue care across locations.
