About Mary
Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in Arkansas and works with adults on relationship, family, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, stress, anxiety, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and related concerns.
She uses practical, talk-based work to help people name what is happening and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships, managing strong emotions like anger, and setting realistic goals for daily life. She also offers support for compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
Her background includes work with attachment and relationship-focused approaches. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on a person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behavioral responses.
Dr. Gunter has training in trauma-related therapies and uses methods intended for processing traumatic memories. She also brings experience with blended family and coparenting issues, grief counseling, and parenting support. She helps people plan steps toward change and stays practical about what can fit into a busy life.
She prefers to work with individual adult clients and does not provide services for minors or certain serious mental health conditions. People who are looking for help managing anger, rebuilding trust after relationship strains, or coping with life transitions may find her approach straightforward and focused on real-world progress.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people relate to others and to emotions. Online sessions using attachment ideas help identify recurring patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT can be used to notice trigger thoughts, try small behavior experiments, and track what changes over time.Figuring out which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss a person’s goals and preferences and recommend a plan that mixes methods as needed. That plan can evolve based on what feels most helpful in early sessions.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets a therapist and client use worksheets, homework, and live conversation to practice managing anger, rehearse communication skills, or work through relationship patterns in ways that fit everyday life.
