About Mary
Mary Meehan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and the strain of parenting. She draws on 27 years of clinical experience to offer calm, straightforward support when life feels overwhelming. She keeps sessions focused on the problems people bring.
Mary creates a listening space without judgment and helps clients name what’s most troubling them. She uses practical tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationship and communication problems, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional fallout from trauma and loss. She also supports people facing career shifts, chronic health issues, and challenges tied to adoption and caregiving. Anger comes up frequently, and Mary helps people recognize triggers and find healthier responses.
Therapy often blends talking with hands-on strategies. Mary draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior approaches, emotionally-focused ideas, and narrative work. She adjusts methods to match each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single script.
Clients can expect clear explanations, step-by-step skill-building, and check-ins on progress. Mary emphasizes practical changes that fit into day-to-day life. Her aim is to help people feel more in control, more understood, and better able to handle life’s ups and downs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and understood while they decide what changes matter most in their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives clear tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors between sessions - useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. These skills are often practical and can be practiced during the week with therapist guidance.
Finding the right approach is normally a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit those goals and daily life. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and teaching skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, coaching-style feedback, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
