Dr. Mary Moran, LCSW

Dr. Mary Moran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Washington with a long history in mental health and substance use treatment. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri, a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia, and a Ph.D. from the University of Utah. Over the course of her career she has also served as a clinical supervisor to social workers and mental health counselors for more than 12 years, and she has recently pursued additional study in trauma-informed therapy.

Her clinical work draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, reality therapy, structural family therapy, spiritually centered interventions, and solution-focused techniques. Her foundational training in family systems and feminist theory informs how she sees patterns in relationships and social context. Dr. Moran typically frames treatment as a collaborative process in which therapist and client set goals together and work toward measurable change.

She emphasizes a person-in-the-environment perspective, attending both to internal thoughts and emotions and to the ways external circumstances shape wellbeing. That orientation guides her work with individuals, couples, and families managing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and other concerns. Her approach is practical and individualized, aiming to help people identify strategies that fit their values and daily life.
