About Mary
Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and anger.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aiming to help people set realistic goals and take practical steps toward change. With eight years of counseling experience, she uses a mix of approaches that match the problem at hand. Sessions often center on understanding attachment patterns and changing everyday thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also works with emotion-focused methods to help people repair important relationships and process strong feelings. Dr. Gunter brings specific experience supporting people after loss, during big life transitions, and while coping with chronic health issues or caregiver stress.
She offers help around self-esteem, career changes, codependency, and communication or control problems that strain relationships. Anger is one of the areas she addresses directly, with practical strategies people can use between sessions. Therapy with her tends to be goal-oriented and tailored.
She helps clients break down long-term aims into smaller steps and practices new skills in day-to-day life. People can expect clear conversation about what is helpful, and collaborative planning for next steps. Sessions are offered in English and arranged through an online matching and scheduling process.
The therapist is licensed to practice in Arkansas and holds the LPC credential noted above.

Online approaches that focus on attachment and practical change
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people spot repeating patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps people name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replace them with actions that lead to better results in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching, and all formats make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments.
