About Mary

LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arizona with 20 years of clinical experience, Mary Jean Eggleston helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, motivation, and self-esteem. She works with individual adults on practical skills and clearer thinking. Sessions focus on concrete goals and steps people can try between meetings.

Mary Jean draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Then she helps set small, achievable tasks to test alternatives and build momentum.

When trauma or grief are present, she balances coping strategies with attention to emotional responses. For panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms she helps clients learn tools to reduce immediate distress and track progress over time. Caregiver stress, first responder issues, and disaster-related coping are among the specific concerns she addresses.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on skill practice and problem solving. Motivational interviewing elements support people who want to change habits or increase follow-through. Solution-focused techniques are used to find what already works and expand on it.

Mary Jean conducts sessions in English and is based in Arizona. She works within the scope of an Arizona LPC and has two decades of experience supporting people through acute stress, longer-term anxiety, and recovery after loss.

Approach and what online sessions involve

Mary Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions commonly include tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternate responses to reduce anxiety and panic.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck about making changes. That approach focuses on clarifying personal goals, resolving ambivalence, and building internal motivation in short, collaborative steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary Jean will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the mix over time based on what proves most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use online meetings to practice skills, review progress, and assign between-session tasks that support real-world change.
