Mary O'Dell, LICSW
About me
As a licensed therapist serving Alabama, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore life transitions, personal identity, and emotional resilience. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing social anxiety, stress, depression, and challenges related to self-esteem.
My therapeutic practice focuses on creating a supportive, affirming environment where individuals can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful coping strategies. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, particularly supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and those managing significant life changes.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients process difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress. My goal is to empower individuals to rediscover their inner strength, rebuild confidence, and create pathways toward personal healing and transformation. I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, empathy, and a commitment to understanding your unique journey.
