About Mary
Mary Meehan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of experience. She works with adults on anger, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns and relationship struggles.
She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than long theory. Sessions look at what triggers strong reactions and which patterns keep those reactions repeating. She also helps people handle major life changes, career stress, attention differences, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder.
Mary draws from several established therapy methods to shape sessions around what the person needs in the moment. That can mean focused skills practice, addressing unhelpful thoughts, or looking at how past experiences influence current feelings. She uses Client-Centered work to prioritize the person’s perspective and Narrative approaches to reframe difficult stories.
Expect straightforward conversation that names patterns and tests small changes. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build coping skills and manage intense emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas inform work around relationship and attachment issues.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with a broad range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and adoption-related matters. Mary also supports people working through control issues, communication problems, and commitment or codependency themes.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and working from the client’s goals to guide sessions. This approach helps when someone wants their concerns heard and to build direction from their own values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anger linked to automatic thoughts, anxiety, or low mood because it offers concrete techniques to test and shift reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can help with intense reactions and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone join when they can’t be on camera for the whole session. Working online also lets people continue care across locations when needed.
