About Mary
Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anxiety, stress, and problems tied to family of origin. She also addresses intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and caregiving stress.
She uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her work. Sessions focus on identifying the patterns that emerged in the family someone grew up in and how those patterns show up in adult relationships, parenting, and self-management.
Dr. Gunter has experience with blended family concerns, coparenting, and caregiving stress. She offers support for people navigating divorce or separation, chronic illness or disability, and aging or geriatric matters. She also works with issues of codependency, commitment and control struggles, and forgiveness.
People come for help with specific problems such as ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, chronic pain, or life transitions like career shifts and empty nest adjustment. Work in sessions can include setting practical goals, making step-by-step plans, and practicing new ways to handle conflict and closeness.
Her practice is based in Arkansas and services are provided in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they understand how to proceed.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It looks at expectations around closeness and trust and helps people notice and change repeating behaviors in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and prioritizes listening and collaboration; it supports people who need someone to reflect their perspective and explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, problems, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client try approaches and adjust them as needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some methods, like CBT skill practice or attachment-focused conversations, adapt well to remote sessions, while other techniques may need specific arrangements; discuss these details directly when arranging the first session.Areas of expertise
