About MaryLee
MaryLee Morganfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also helps people navigate relationship strain, grief and loss, and life changes related to health or aging.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life. Her work starts by listening and learning what matters most to the client.
How MaryLee works
Sessions emphasize building on strengths and identifying small, practical steps toward change. MaryLee uses a blend of approaches to match the needs of the person in front of her. That may include goal-oriented tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotion-focused work to understand relational patterns, or acceptance-based strategies to live with difficult feelings.
She explains methods in clear, everyday language and practices them at a pace a person can follow. Her additional areas of focus include blended family issues, workplace problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, money and financial stress, cancer-related concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. She also addresses panic attacks, forgiveness, guilt and shame, jealousy, and women’s issues.
MaryLee offers sessions in English and is open to working with people internationally. Appointments are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approach-focused care delivered online
MaryLee draws on several well-known methods to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focus on what matters most in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, zeroes in on emotions and attachment needs to improve how people relate and respond to one another.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. MaryLee starts by listening to a person’s goals, history, and preferences, then suggests an approach or combination of approaches that fits. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts methods based on what is helping and what is not.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief updates, follow-ups, or people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
