About Mary
Dr. Mary Anne Gunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas. She draws on several therapy approaches, including EMDR, to help people facing relationship stress, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, and life transitions.
Her tone is practical and direct, focused on real steps rather than jargon. She uses methods that center on emotions and attachment, and she also applies cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now, what you want to change, and small steps to get there.
Background and approach
EMDR is part of the approaches she lists for trauma work. Mary Anne brings eight years of professional experience to her practice. She has particular experience with blended family and coparenting issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and grief work.
She often helps people sort through family of origin problems, codependency, communication breakdowns, and commitment questions. She supports parents with the strain of raising children and offers coaching around career shifts and goal-setting. People working through divorce, separation, or empty nest transitions will find practical planning and coping strategies in sessions.
Her style is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on realistic, achievable goals. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with residents of Arkansas and holds LPC credentials in the region.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in connection and practice different ways of relating to partners, family members, or themselves.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and then change interaction patterns that block closeness. In remote sessions this can look like guided conversations and exercises that reveal feelings and build new ways of responding in relationships.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is listed among her approaches for trauma work; in an online format EMDR elements are adapted to fit video or phone sessions and focus on processing upsetting memories and reducing emotional intensity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods suit a person's goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This happens through conversation and shared decision making rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates and get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep consistent work toward goals.
