    About Mary

    Mary Jean Eggleston is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience practicing in Arizona. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Mary Jean works in a respectful, sensitive way and focuses on practical steps people can take right now.

    She adapts conversations and treatment to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and skills that people can use between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is one approach she uses to help people find their own reasons to change.

    Mary Jean also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep discussions goal-directed and time-sensitive when people want focused problem solving.

    She aims to make the work straightforward and collaborative, so clients leave with concrete next steps. That can include coping tools for panic, ways to handle guilt and shame, or strategies to rebuild confidence after loss.

    Mary Jean describes starting therapy as a brave step and positions herself as a supportive partner through that process. People interested in beginning are invited to move at a pace that feels manageable while working toward clearer goals.

  2. How these approaches work in online sessions

    Mary Jean draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to support motivation rather than pressure.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps the work practical and goal-oriented, highlighting small steps that lead toward measurable progress.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary Jean will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then tailor the plan so it fits the person and their life. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy moves forward.

    Session format options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use the time more easily around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can also combine skill practice and real-life problem solving between meetings to speed progress.
