About Mary Vietmeier
Mary Vietmeier grew up as the oldest of four and has carried a caregiver's perspective throughout her life. She followed her mother's footsteps into nursing and spent years working in surgery, labor and delivery, and cancer research before a serious back injury in 1988 prompted a career change. After returning to school she graduated summa cum laude from Capital University in 1993 and later completed additional study at Ohio State University, earning credentials that led to licensure as a clinical professional counselor in Ohio in 2001. LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a credential that qualifies her to assess and treat mental health and adjustment concerns.
Following a period of practice she retired in 2016 and pursued theological study, completing a Master of Divinity in May 2020. In the summer of 2021 she served an internship at Providence Medical Center in Anchorage as a chaplain, attending to the emotional and spiritual needs of people facing severe and often life-threatening circumstances, often alongside family and friends.
Her professional background in nursing informs an understanding of the physical side of health, while her work as a mental health therapist addresses emotional and life crises. Her theological training adds familiarity with religious traditions and how belief systems may or may not provide spiritual comfort. Mary describes her approach as person-centered and holistic - she attends to who someone is physically, mentally, and spiritually while maintaining a nonjudgmental stance. She values diversity and the complexity of human behavior, and she believes effective therapy builds on being seen and accepted as a whole person.
She has extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, health crises, relationship concerns, and questions related to spirituality, organized religion, life purpose, and personal journey. While she may occasionally make exceptions, she does not typically provide family or marriage counseling, addiction treatment, or ADHD-focused care. She prefers to work with individuals and favors video sessions because much communication is nonverbal. Whether a person brings a single concern or a history of layered issues, Mary aims to help clients gain clarity, deeper self-understanding, improved insight into others, and clearer choices. She emphasizes resilience and offers an eclectic set of skills shaped by years of professional training and life experience. Taking the first step can be difficult, but she believes reaching out ends the journey of doing it alone. She looks forward to the opportunity to meet and accompany people through this part of their lives. She is not currently accepting clients.
