About Mary
Mary Jean Eggleston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with over 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Mary Jean also offers coaching to help people build confidence and direction.
She works in a direct, respectful style and listens first. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. She emphasizes clear goals and small steps that add up over time.
How Mary works
Her work includes tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help manage symptoms and move toward what matters. That might mean learning ways to handle panic attacks, talking through guilt and shame, or building routines to reduce daily stress. Mary Jean has particular experience with caregiver stress, first responder issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
She also helps people work through post-traumatic stress and the emotional fallout of loss. In sessions she aims to be compassionate and practical. People who want clear strategies, steady support, and an emphasis on real-life results often find this approach helpful.
If someone is ready to start, she guides them through a straightforward plan tailored to their situation.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Mary Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen stress and anxiety. CBT gives concrete skills for panic attacks, worry, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach supports readiness and builds motivation for steps like improving self-care or making life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape which methods to use. That way treatment fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep care consistent over time.
