Dr. Mary Anne Gunter, LPC

Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers sessions on the client's experience. She brings a calm, practical style to conversations about relationships, family stress, grief, parenting, and aging and geriatric issues. She speaks directly and plainly so people can focus on the next steps they want to try.

Over eight years she has worked with people facing trauma, attachment struggles, and major life transitions. She uses approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused methods, and EMDR when appropriate. Her background includes hands-on work with blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and grief.

In sessions she helps clients name what matters and make simple plans for change. That might mean practicing new ways to speak up, sorting out priorities during caregiving, or pacing steps through bereavement. She also supports people coping with anger, low self-esteem, intimacy problems, and work-related strain.

She holds LPC credentials and has training in trauma-focused methods and grief counseling. She works from Arkansas and conducts therapy in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform process.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and session times are arranged according to the therapist's schedule. The subscription payment model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How key approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feeling and behavior. It helps people understand connection needs and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the center; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace to build insight and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm the current options before booking. The therapist works with clients from Arkansas and conducts sessions in English, and will help arrange timing that fits the client's routine.
