About Mary Newbauer

Mary Newbauer is a recently retired Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 27 years of experience supporting patients and families, especially in end-of-life care. She earned her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1999 and developed a practice centered on helping people navigate grief, loss, and significant life transitions. Over the course of her career she worked with individuals facing bereavement as well as losses from divorce, the end of important relationships, and the personal changes associated with aging.

Her practice addressed a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, caregiver and hospice challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem and career. Mary integrated client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, drawing on experience and practical strategies to assist clients in adapting to change and building new chapters in life. Her focus also encompassed LGBT matters, family dynamics, anger, midlife concerns, cancer-related needs, and the stresses experienced by caregivers.

Throughout her professional life Mary emphasized empathy, active listening, and a supportive presence, using years of clinical experience to help people find pathways forward after loss and during major life changes. Having recently stepped away from active practice, her work reflects a long-standing commitment to easing suffering and promoting adjustment in difficult times.

Approaches That Translate to Online Care

Mary Newbauer drew on several well-established therapeutic approaches that adapt well to remote formats. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaborative support to help people explore feelings and find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for grief, identity concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can benefit those coping with loss, chronic stress, or caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary’s work emphasized collaboration to identify methods that fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. A therapist and client work together to tailor techniques and decide which combination of approaches is most helpful.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people balancing caregiving, health needs, work, or mobility limitations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide regular support, teach practical skills, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
