About Mary
Mary Egger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on practical help for parents and caregivers. She draws on 12 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
She often adapts activities from play-based work so people can process feelings without only talking. That can include guided activities or simple, interactive exercises that fit whoever is in the room.
Background and approach
Mary aims to make sessions feel welcoming and nonjudgmental so clients can speak openly about what’s hard. Her background includes substantial work with people on the autism spectrum and related developmental concerns. That experience informs how she tailors pacing, communication, and strategies to each person’s needs.
She also supports parents who are navigating adoption, foster care, and the stresses those journeys bring. Clinically, Mary uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when trauma or intense emotional reactions are present. She mixes these approaches to match what a client needs in real time rather than sticking to a single method.
Mary is licensed in Kansas as an LCPC and holds an LPC credential. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on client preference and scheduling.

How Mary’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. It is useful when worry, avoidance, or shifting priorities get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes to change how someone feels. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear skills to use between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the feelings tied to them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try or combine approaches based on those conversations. Clients and therapist work together to track what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and interactive activities, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like ACT, CBT, or EMDR in ways that suit each person’s schedule and needs.
