About Mary
Mary Meehan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, bipolar disorder, and life changes. Mary also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, career strain, and ADHD.
Her sessions focus on understanding emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help clients name and work through what feels overwhelming. Narrative and dialectical behavior approaches are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person’s goals.
Mary prefers clear, practical work. In sessions she helps people notice how their feelings and actions connect. She and the client look for small changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Homework or simple skill practice sometimes supports work between meetings.
Her background includes decades of helping clients manage relationship strain, parenting stresses, and long-standing anxiety. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and blended family concerns when these are part of a person’s story. She also has experience with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and cancer-related issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Mary accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the See online therapy options button.
How Mary blends EFT and other approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name hard-to-reach feelings and the patterns those feelings create in daily life. It is useful when someone wants to understand why they react the way they do and to change unhelpful emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and relies on listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Mary will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape each person's plan rather than assuming one method up front.
Practical benefits of online sessions often include easier scheduling around work or family demands, fewer travel needs, and the ability to maintain continuity when life is busy.
