About Mary
Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Clients often come with struggles around communication, control, guilt, and finding life purpose. She blends several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Conversations focus on practical steps, exploring feelings, and building coping skills that fit daily routines.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness where appropriate to address trauma and distressing memories. Mary adjusts the pace and emphasis according to what a person needs in the moment.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Expect an emphasis on listening, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning. The goal is to leave each session with a clearer next step and tools to manage symptoms between meetings.
Mary practices in Illinois and uses her background to support people through common and complex concerns. She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady guidance through that process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. It focuses on listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own answers to problems like anxiety or mild depression.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses clear exercises and small practice tasks to change unhelpful patterns for issues such as stress, anxiety, and mood disorders.
EMDR is a method used to reduce distress from traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. It can help people who continue to feel stuck after trauma or abuse.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they test methods and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT homework for remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
