About Mary
Mary Egger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. She works with individuals concerned about trauma, mood changes, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues related to adoption or intellectual differences. Her approach is straightforward and practical for people looking for real tools.
Mary brings 12 years of clinical experience in Kansas to her online practice. Much of her earlier work involved people on the autism spectrum, and she draws on that background when tailoring sessions for sensory or communication needs.
Background and approach
She uses play-based ideas when helpful, adapting activities so they work for adults as well as younger clients. Her sessions combine talk-based strategies with skill-building exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that move people toward what matters. Mary also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches when clients need skills for emotion regulation or to process difficult experiences. EMDR is listed among her methods for trauma work and may be part of a plan when appropriate.
She emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative tone in sessions. Clients and therapist plan goals together and pick methods that suit the person’s pace and needs. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.
The aim is practical change over time, with steps people can use between meetings.
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It’s useful for anxiety, life changes, and getting unstuck when worry gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It’s often used for depression, anxiety, and coping skills practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, then choose a mix that fits. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to real life.
Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and messaging let people check in between visits, send brief updates, or do shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
