About Mary

Mary Yost is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire with 29 years of experience. She uses a mix of approaches, including hypnotherapy, to help people cope with depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy struggles, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life.

Sessions often work on clearer communication, building self-worth, and easing patterns that keep people stuck. Hypnotherapy may be used alongside talk therapy tools to address habits, strong emotions, and difficult memories.

Background and approach

Mary has spent decades helping people through transitions and major life stressors. That includes caregiving strain, changes related to aging, recovery from illness, and the upheaval of separation or divorce. She also offers support for those dealing with body image concerns, cancer-related challenges, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.

Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. She pays attention to attachment patterns and thought habits, and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to shape practical goals. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes and clearer ways to relate to oneself and others.

Therapy is offered in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is handled after completing a short matching questionnaire.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Hypnotherapy here is used as a focused method to help address strong habits, intense emotions, and memories that feel stuck. Sessions introduce guided relaxation and imagery alongside conversation to help people shift patterns that contribute to addiction, anxiety, or low mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. It helps people clarify values and take small actions toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for depression, emptiness, and relationship concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. Work in this area helps people understand their needs, rebuild trust in themselves, and change repetitive interaction patterns that harm intimacy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what actually helps.

Online work is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing short reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, and people who live across New Hampshire.
