Dr. Mary Moran

She holds a Ph.D., a Master of Social Work, and a background in psychology. Dr.

Moran has spent more than 12 years supervising other social workers and mental health counselors. She practices from Washington and conducts sessions in English.

She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set clear goals and works with them step by step.

Her approach looks at both a person’s inner thoughts and the surrounding environment that affects daily life. Dr.

Moran draws on several practical methods in her work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and make small, concrete changes.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. The Gottman Method appears among the approaches she lists for relationship work.

Her experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and career changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions can address communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Dr.

Moran blends practical techniques with attention to life context to help people manage change and cope with difficult emotions.
