Mary Reagan-Vorasorn, LCPC

Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Illinois. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she treats people with respect and compassion.

She listens first and then works with each person to set practical goals. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Mary avoids labels and concentrates on the problems people name and the changes they want to make.

Mary blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. She draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and focused on the person's experience.

For those who have had traumatic experiences, she can include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of treatment when appropriate. Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas may also be used to build awareness of patterns and emotional responses.

Throughout work together, Mary keeps the focus practical. She helps people with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, and mood concerns. Her aim is to support steady progress toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mary draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on concrete skills people can practice between sessions and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and collaboration. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around their goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary discusses options with each person and adapts methods based on the person's needs, goals, and comfort level so therapy feels like a joint effort.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine and keep momentum between sessions.
