Mary Reagan-Vorasorn

Compassionate, experienced therapy for lasting change

About Mary

Mary Reagan-Vorasorn is an Illinois-licensed therapist (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Background and approach

She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and mood disorders, offering steady guidance for those facing persistent emotional or behavioral challenges. Her therapeutic manner blends warmth with practical engagement.

Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative attitude rather than stigmatizing labels. Mary draws on a range of methods - including client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic exploration, EMDR for trauma, and mindfulness practices - and adapts interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Many clients find her approach supportive and empowering as they work toward clearer thinking, healthier coping, and renewed direction. She aims to tailor dialogue and treatment plans so that therapy fits the individual instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Mary commonly integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, offering practical skills for daily coping. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided processing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary approaches this collaboratively. She will work together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor a plan that may combine methods to best address presenting concerns.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows people to engage in therapy from their own settings. These formats can make regular contact easier to maintain and enable different modes of interaction so therapists and clients can choose what fits their communication style and day-to-day life.
