I began my career in the field of addictions in 1996 and haven't looked back since, having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings for both addictions and dual diagnosis in the state of Massachusetts including Methdone and Suboxone clinics. Along the way I realized the need for further education and training in the areas of trauma and abuse, and am a certified member of the International Association of Trauma Professionals. In addition to this, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge in the areas of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, parenting issues, relationship issues, LGBT issues, as well as helping people increase their sense of self esteem and confidence. I believe in meeting the client where they are at and never force them to discuss sensitive issues until they are ready to do so on their own. Over the years I have found the most strength is believing in my clients and encouraging them to be the person they always wanted to be.
I have various approaches, and the approach I use is client based depending on their needs whether it be CBT,, strengths based, or motivational. I am also DBT trained, and received my certification in 2004 from intense workshops through Marsha Linehan. The objective for me has always been to meet the client where they are at, not where I think they should be. I do not believe in forcing someone to talk about something they are not ready or not comfortable to talk about as I understand the importance of trust in a therapeutic relationship. My mannerism with clients comes from genuine care and compassion and I love to celebrate their successes with them as well as help troubleshoot the stumbling blocks along the way.
I would love the opportunity to guide you along your journey as well!

I can’t remember when I joined BetterHelp but it was possibly a couple years ago. I’ve had issues in areas of my life and marriage which needed tending to. When I was matched to Maryann I was attracted to her years of experience which I felt I connect with better.
I’ve been on and off BetterHelp but every time I come back. I’ve a lot a trust in Maryann, she has been a great listener but also had given me sound advice and perspective. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs wise guidance from someone who has so much experience. Worth every penny I have to seek a better way of being and living!! Thank you Maryann

Maryann has helped me cope with a variety of issues relating to anxiety, PTSD, and Bipolar disorder. For me, she has focused on the little things that are manageable for me to do in order to help ease the symptoms and distress in the moment before tackling the problem itself. The coping skills I have learned from her have helped me ease the severity, shorten the length, and even prevent anxiety attacks in many cases. Highly recommended!!

Maryann has taught me so much. Thanks to her, I have been able to work on some things in my life that, without her help, I would have probably postponed or would have felt differently about. I never felt judged or hurt by her. She knows what to say at the right time and how to say it. I am extremely thankful for her support in a very difficult time of my life and with her help I see much more light and am more confident in who I am and what I can achieve. Thanks Maryann!

Maryann Whalen is a lovely counselor who gave very helpful and insightful advice.

I find Maryann immediately involved and caring without feeling clinical. She asks pointed questions that allows me to self-reflect without feeling like I’m being told what to do. I appreciate her attention to my specific situation and individual feedback on my concerns.
Written on Oct 08, 2018 after therapy with Maryann for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, grief, and self esteem
Maryann has a special way of connecting with you - and no matter what you are going through she offers an ear to listen if you need it, but also never pushes her ideals or values onto you in the process. She is amazing at the work that she does, even reaches out if she hasn't heard from you because she cares. And when it comes down to the nitty gritty and it's a lot, she's not afraid of taking the time to address EVERYTHING; and if that means it takes a little longer for her to respond, that's completely fine. She doesn't just give you a broad opinion on what your course of action should be, she addresses every single issue, event, anything and not only tries to understand but she makes incredible ideas to come up with a solution. She's great at asking questions and putting you outside of your comfort zone, and even that can open your eyes to solutions you never thought possible. And often times you have all the answers, she just has an incredible way of making you see things form that different perspective, and that can make all the difference in the world!
Written on Sep 11, 2018 after therapy with Maryann for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, family, intimacy-related, and parenting
I like the way Maryann frames what I'm thinking into constructive impactful narratives. She sharpens my focus and helps me stay positive in the face of emotionally trying situations. I've found myself being more open and receptive to help (and criticism) from others in my support network as a direct result of my interactions with Maryann.
Written on Sep 08, 2018 after therapy with Maryann for 3 months on issues concerning addictions, and relationship
Maryann has been a wonderful therapist. I've seen approximately 6 or so over the last 20 years, and have found Maryanne to be just as, if not more, effective, attentive and helpful as any in-person therapist I've had. Sometimes using written language can lead to misunderstandings, but Maryann is always quick to ask clarifying questions and verifies that she's interpreting my words correctly. When she hasn't, she is gracious and addresses the real concern rather than implying that her initial interpretation is the right interpretation.
Written on Aug 10, 2018 after therapy with Maryann for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family, intimacy-related, parenting, and self esteem

Maryann is definitely the best therapist I ever had. Relatable, to the point, holds me accountable, and seriously...who does't need that? She has depth, wisdom, and spirituality mixed in with heavy doses of common sense and practicality. Did i mention accountability? I have been seeing her for almost 6 months. I really value my time with her, and at first I wasn't so sure of online therapy, but now I wouldn't even go the traditional office route. Thanks for everything!

Been with Maryann for a few weeks now, and It's been rather helpful. I would like to say I came to her with the knowledge of what my problem was in the first place, that there was no rooting around for it to begin with, but she has helped combat the problem I knew I had, as well as come up with ways to deal with things I hadn't thought of as an immediate issue in the first place. I plan to stick with her for as long as I can, she's been a huge help in just the few short weeks I have had in contact with her.

BetterHelp has been an incredible resource for me. I live in a rural area where access to mental health services is very limited.

I need blunt, direct feedback and she is able to provide that with a great balance of sensitively and grace.

I really appreciate Maryann Whalen. Her advice is sound, wise and nonjudgmental. Even though she has never met me, I truly feel like she cares. She always checks up on me if I haven't responded and that speaks volumes. I love this form of counseling. I truly appreciate Maryann, she has done more than you could imagine for me. Thank you!

Maryann is wonderful! She has helped me in only a few weeks to come to realizations I never would have arrived at on my own. She is kind and caring, and creates a supportive and safe conversation which really helped me to open up about what I have been experiencing. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing counselor!

Maryann is a wonderful counseling, exactly what you want in a counselor: kind, considerate, open-minded and incredibly passionate about her work. I've only been speaking with her for a few weeks, but am already feeling better and making small improvements and changes to my mental health. I am incredibly grateful for her help. Thanks for making therapy so accessible and helpful!

I value my time with Maryann. She is wonderful at helping me to see things clearly. I value her input. Her insight is most helpful. I couldn't imagine how my life would be if I wasn't able to chat with Maryann.
