About MaryLee
MaryLee Morganfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and communication problems, and issues around self-esteem and addictions.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for strengths and helps people name what they want to change and why.
MaryLee draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also brings elements of client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and feelings.
For relationship concerns she incorporates emotionally focused ideas to help sort out attachment and communication patterns. Jungian ideas may be used for people who want to explore meaning, symbols, or deeper patterns in their life story.
Her practical focus includes blended family issues such as merging routines, loyalty tensions, co-parenting friction, and adapting to new household roles. People who want clear tools and straightforward conversation about these topics will find this approach direct and task-focused.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can be useful for panic attacks, low mood, worry, and behavior changes people want to make.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and current concerns. That may mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting as work proceeds.
Practical online benefits can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and keeping therapy consistent when routines change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
