About Mary
Mary Meehan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of clinical work. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and codependency concerns.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions start by listening to what feels most urgent. Conversations look at how thoughts, emotions, and everyday choices interact. She uses practical skills and short-term strategies alongside longer discussions about past experiences.
Mary draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotion-focused ideas guide conversations about strong feelings and how they play out in relationships.
Her work often includes problem-solving for daily stress, coaching around career or parenting decisions, and planning steps to handle life changes. For people who struggle with people-pleasing or losing themselves in a relationship, sessions focus on clearer boundaries and communication skills.
After intake, she and the client set practical goals and check progress regularly. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations. Mary aims to help people feel more able to make choices that reflect their own values.
How sessions work
How Mary Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist following what matters most to the client and reflecting it back to help clarify choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior, teaching concrete techniques to test beliefs and try different responses that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing healthier ways to handle conflict and relationships.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying skills in session, reviewing how they went, and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Working this way can make it simpler to practice new behaviors in everyday settings and to follow up between meetings with concrete homework or skill practice.
