About Mary

Mary Jean Eggleston is an Arizona-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She draws on a practical, respectful approach that acknowledges each person's resilience while addressing real-world obstacles like caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and recovery after natural or human-caused disaster. Her style centers on working collaboratively to shape conversations and a treatment plan tailored to an individual's needs and goals.

She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while helping clients build confidence and coping skills for issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and cultivating greater self-love. Mary Jean encourages taking small courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support throughout that process.

Approach-Focused Online Care with Practical Tools

Mary Jean integrates several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often providing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building internal motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to personal goals. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term strategies to move toward specific, achievable outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary Jean talks with each client about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adapts techniques from these methods so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single style. This partnership helps clients find a rhythm and plan that feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations across Arizona. The range of options supports consistent progress while accommodating busy lives and varying comfort levels with remote communication.
