About MaryLee
MaryLee Morganfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear discussion rather than jargon. MaryLee asks questions, listens to what matters, and helps people notice what’s working and what isn’t.
Over two decades she has guided people through common life pressures. She uses a mix of approaches that suit each situation, including cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and client-centered work that follows each person's pace. Her practice also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relational patterns.
In a typical session MaryLee will help a client name specific behaviors and feelings that get in the way. She works on small, achievable steps people can try between sessions. Conversations often cover what triggers anger, how it shows up at home or work, and ways to respond differently.
She also addresses related topics such as workplace stress, communication problems, grief after loss, and issues around aging. MaryLee is practical and direct about tools and follow-through. She encourages clients to notice progress and adjust plans as needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
MaryLee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what they care about and take action toward those values. ACT can be useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood, and to practice new responses that reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. MaryLee will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT and CBT ideas, or using emotion-focused techniques when relationship patterns are the main concern.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video appointments when travel would be difficult. Therapists generally adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions and focus on practical tools clients can use between meetings.
