About MaryLee
MaryLee Morganfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering steady support for change.
She listens first and helps people sort what matters most. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. MaryLee draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for managing anxious thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
Background and approach
When relationships or communication cause strain, she uses emotionally-focused and client-centered methods to improve understanding and connection. For deeper meaning and life patterns, she incorporates Jungian perspectives to bring insight into recurring themes and values. MaryLee also helps clients facing specific life stressors such as blended family changes, divorce and separation, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, workplace pressures, and money worries.
She works with people coping with panic attacks, infidelity, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness and self-love. Her style is supportive and straightforward. She aims to build practical plans that fit day-to-day life and to boost resilience through small, steady changes.
People who want clear tools and reflective conversation often find her way of working helpful.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
MaryLee commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, and it supports living in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the tone warm and collaborative. That approach centers the person's experience and emphasizes empathy and respect as tools for growth. Together with the client she will discuss which approaches fit best and adjust methods based on goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and real-life progress.
