About Mary
Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who emphasizes mindfulness in therapy. She brings a calm, attentive approach that helps people notice what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and personal goals rather than jargon or long lectures.
She has eight years of counseling experience and works from Arkansas. Her practice addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also helps with career shifts, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue.
Her work draws on several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She applies client-centered ways of listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Dr. Gunter also uses emotionally-focused work to address closeness and connection, and she integrates mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm. She helps with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness work.
People looking for help will find a therapist who aims to be practical and respectful. She supports planning realistic steps toward goals and helps people build skills they can use outside sessions. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s match process and schedule with the therapist based on availability.
How mindfulness and attachment work online can help you
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building present-moment awareness through simple practices and gentle attention. It can help reduce stress, quiet repetitive thoughts, and make it easier to handle difficult emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people understand why they react a certain way with loved ones and learn new ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so clients guide the work and find solutions that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with clients to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid long commutes, or choose a format that suits bandwidth or camera comfort. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options with the therapist before booking. Licensed professionals can still use the same mindfulness, attachment, and client-centered tools effectively through remote meetings.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
