About Mary
Mary Meehan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of practice. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and money or financial issues. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to create a calm place to talk things through.
Clients can expect conversational sessions that focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Mary draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Sessions may include problem-solving, small skill-building exercises, and chances to reframe painful memories.
Mary works with people facing relationship strain, communication problems, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, and career stresses. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and issues related to adoption, abandonment, or blended families. Her background helps when life feels full of competing demands and emotions.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person. She listens first, then helps set concrete, manageable steps toward change. Many clients come away with clearer priorities, better coping tools, and less day-to-day reactivity.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace. It means the therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic presence to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that show up in daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone copes under pressure. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Mary treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. Clients help set priorities and choose what feels most useful in their lives.
Please confirm the available session formats before scheduling, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to work through coaching-style tasks or homework between sessions.
