Hello, I am a counseling psychologist licensed to practice in Ohio, and have over 25 years of experience working with adults and adolescents in community mental health, private practice, and school settings. I am also a psychology professor at a university in Ohio, but have a passion for helping individuals overcome obstacles to their growth and live healthier, productive lives. My experience with clients includes issues with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief/loss, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and career/vocational issues. I also have experience educating and counseling clients on COVID-19 related issues, including trauma/loss, COVID fatigue, and compassion fatigue. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Ohio State University, and an M.A. degree in Developmental Psychology. My counseling style is warm, empathic, and compassionate, and my focus is on building a trusting relationship with clients that they can use to support the changes in their lives. My therapeutic approach uses solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques that allow clients to work toward their goals in a timely fashion. I encourage clients to set the lead in sessions, believing that we are our own best experts on ourselves. My role is to assist clients in marshalling their own strengths and resources, along with learning new ones, in a way that allows them to "be their own therapist" outside of sessions. I look forward to meeting with you and hearing your story.

Hello and welcome. My name is Mary Vietmeier. I am passionate about life and all the complexities that come with it. I have been a caregiver since childhood being the oldest of four and then followed my mother's footsteps as a registered nurse (1975). I loved nursing having worked in surgery, labor and delivery, and cancer research until 1988 when I sustained a serious back injury. Nursing as I knew it was no longer an option. I returned to school and retreaded my career graduating from Capital University (1993) Summa Cum Laude. I was accepted and graduated from Ohio State University (2001) and became a licensed clinical professional counselor in Ohio (2001) qualified to diagnose and treat mental issues as well as adjustment concerns. After retiring in 2016 an opportunity to study theology in seminary was offered to me, I accepted and graduated in May 2020 with a Masters in Divinity. Summer of 2021 I completed an internship at Providence Medical center in Anchorage as a chaplain. I tended to the emotional and spiritual needs of those suffering severe and often life-threatening circumstances. Caring for family and friends was frequently included. As a nurse I experienced the coming, going, and what's inside of humans pertaining to physical health. As a mental health therapist, I understand the realities of mental, emotional, and life crises. As a theologian, I understand religious traditions, belief systems and how these can be or in some cases are not spiritually comforting. Now you might be asking why I am telling you all this. My approach is from a person-centered holistic point which looks at who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually with no judgments. Diversity is a beautiful aspect of nature including humanity. We are complex creatures and our behavior is intertwined with the whole of who we are. Working with someone who "gets who you are as a whole" and accepts you just as you are is foundational to therapy that is effective and satisfying. I have extensive experience with treating depression, anxiety, health crisis, relationship issues, and issues involving spirituality, organized religion, and your journey and life purpose. While occasionally making an exception due to circumstances, I do not typically do family and marriage counseling; addictions, or ADHA. My preference is to work with individuals using the video option as 80 % of communication is nonverbal. Whether it is one specific issue you seek help with or a multifaceted history of compounding issues, I feel confident as we work together you will gain some clarity, greater insight into yourself, an increased understanding of others, and choices will become clear. No matter how bad things might seem right now there is always a degree of hope. I have lived a life of resiliency and want to share that strength with others by using the eclectic collection of skills from years of professional training and life experience. The first step of reaching out is not easy . . . . . however when you take that step you will no longer be alone on your journey. Thank you for reading this and getting to know a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to meet, get to know you, and share this part of your life's journey. It would be my honor.
