About Mary
Mary Egger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Kansas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
With 12 years of professional experience, she draws on a range of trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches to support clients facing grief, compassion fatigue, parenting struggles, ADHD, and identity-related stressors such as LGBT issues.
Mary also has substantial experience working with people connected to adoption and foster care, and with individuals on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disabilities. Her style blends practical coping skills with a compassionate, client-centered stance.
Mary uses interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR when appropriate, matching techniques to each person’s needs. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients build insight and actionable strategies to address life changes, anger, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem concerns.
Mary integrates developmentally appropriate methods and interactive techniques to help clients process anxiety, fears, and past events in ways that fit their age and learning style.
Beginning therapy is acknowledged as a courageous step, and Mary aims to make the process accessible and supportive while working with clients and, when relevant, their families to set meaningful goals and track progress.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and teaching concrete skills to change those patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences, supporting clients who are navigating life transitions, grief, or chronic emotional pain.She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients are invited to shape the goals and pace of therapy. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Mary will discuss options and combine methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and learning style to find what fits best.
The online format offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue from different settings and at varied times. These options can make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
