Mary Catherine Diss

Mary Catherine Diss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns— from anxiety and depression to those struggling with chronic illness.

Mary Catherine’s approach blends solution-focused strategies with collaborative goal setting. She supports clients by meeting them where they are. She strives to create a safe, nonjudgemental space to explore whats most important to each individual, then co-develop clear, achievable objectives and practical steps that build on existing resources and successes. Mary Catherine honors each clients pace, and interventions are adjusted as needed to keep goals relevant and empowering. The goal Mary Catherine has for you is to leave each session with a renewed sense of agency to move towards the future you want.

Mary Catherine received her Masters in Social Work from The University of South Florida.

How We’ll Meet

  • We will meet in office at 219 S East Street in downtown Raleigh, or we can meet at a coffee shop and chat.
