About MaryLee
MaryLee Morganfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and self-esteem issues. MaryLee also addresses a range of related life challenges such as workplace problems, money issues, and women's concerns.
Her approach places the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions center on identifying strength and practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test new ways of responding.
MaryLee draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas. She also incorporates emotionally focused and Jungian perspectives when they fit a person's goals. The result is a mix of structured exercises and open conversation depending on what someone needs.
Typical work includes learning to recognize patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, practicing small behavior changes, and improving communication around relationships or workplace tension. For grief and loss she helps people make space for emotions while finding practical routines to manage daily life.
Her style is straightforward and action-oriented. People who prefer clear steps and short, focused practices tend to do well in her sessions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and routines. In practice this means setting small, measurable behavior goals and using short exercises to track how new responses affect mood and function. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clear values-based goals alongside techniques to notice and allow difficult thoughts and feelings. It helps people move toward meaningful actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own perspective, giving space for people to shape their goals and pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, suggest approaches that suit those aims, and adjust methods as progress and feedback indicate. That collaboration helps decide whether more structured exercises or open discussion will be emphasized.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or avoid travel time. They also let someone use audio-only if bandwidth is low or choose a video session for face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets and ACT practices for virtual meetings so work continues between sessions.
