Mary Egger , LCPC, LPC

Mary Egger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Kansas with 12+ years of professional experience. She has extensive work with both children and adults on the autism spectrum, supporting individuals directly and collaborating closely with their families to address development, communication, and daily living challenges.

As a Registered Play Therapist, she integrates play into the therapeutic process and adapts directive play therapy techniques for an online setting, making play a productive tool for clients of any age to explore anxiety, fears, and difficult emotions. Her online practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside age-appropriate activities to help people process experiences and build coping skills.

Mary aims to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She encourages clients to take the initial step toward therapy and acknowledges the courage involved in getting started, offering steady support as clients begin their work toward healing and better functioning.

Online Therapeutic Approaches for Flexible Care

Mary Egger draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape online sessions that match each person’s needs. ACT focuses on helping individuals notice difficult thoughts and feelings while building a life aligned with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard - it supports self-exploration and strengthens the therapeutic relationship for those seeking understanding and emotional growth. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their goals and preferences. As a Registered Play Therapist, she also adapts play-based techniques for online use when appropriate, so interventions can feel engaging for different ages and developmental levels.

Online therapy with Mary is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging daily life.
