Mary Bulla, LMHC

Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy challenges, and concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. Mary offers a calm, nonjudgmental space and invites feedback during the work together.

Her approach is flexible and adjusted to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that move toward clear goals. She draws on a mix of methods and tailors them to the situation rather than using a single fixed style.

Mary earned a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Her background includes grief and bereavement work in hospice, supporting children ages 3 to 18 at a community health organization, and practice with teens and adults in private settings. She has also facilitated support groups.

A personal experience with breast cancer influenced her interest in working with chronic and terminal illness. Mary uses techniques such as client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and EMDR among other tools. She often adds psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and expressive methods when helpful.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages people to speak up about what helps or doesn’t help. If a match doesn’t feel right, she supports finding a better fit so clients can keep moving forward.

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, listening space where goals come from the client. It helps with stress, relationship concerns, and making life changes by centering what matters most to the individual.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. It can be helpful for people coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress when integrated carefully into a treatment plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively to decide which methods to use based on a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time if something isn’t helping.

The practical upside of online therapy is that it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time, making regular check-ins easier to keep. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find that online work lets them continue steady progress while balancing family, work, and medical needs.
