About Mary
Mary Egger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her practice in Kansas. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and related life challenges. Her style is straightforward and calm, helping people feel understood and steady enough to talk about difficult issues.
Mary often uses play-based methods when helpful, adapting activities so they fit an adult or a child. She encourages simple, workable steps people can use between sessions to manage worry and regain routine.
Background and approach
The first meetings are about listening and building trust so later work feels doable. Her background includes extensive experience with autism spectrum differences and related developmental concerns. That work led her to learn ways to adjust communication and pace so sessions match how each person processes information.
She also brings experience supporting parents through the stresses of caregiving and transitions. Mary draws on several practical approaches, such as acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused strategies when needed. She mixes these to match a person’s goals rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions aim for clear skills, more emotional awareness, and realistic next steps. People connect with her for help with parenting strain, grief, ADHD-related struggles, relationship stress within families, and recovery from past abuse or trauma. Her work emphasizes steady progress, frequent check-ins, and sensible tools that fit everyday life.
Online approaches that fit your life
Mary often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify their values, and take small actions that matter. ACT can be helpful when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from doing what they care about. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and low mood in place, then teach clear skills to shift those patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mary talks with each person about symptoms, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping sessions practical and goal-focused.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy fits into daily life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or text allow brief check-ins or continued support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people use the format that matches their routine and comfort.
