About Mary
Mary Keller is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with licenses in South Carolina and Georgia and ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Mary also lists interests in career matters, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related areas that commonly affect home life.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Mary uses client-centered approaches to listen and reflect what feels important. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns of thought and try different behaviors. The Gottman Method informs her work around communication and trust in close relationships.
Her background includes work in private practice and community settings. That variety has shaped how she responds to common family pressures and parenting strain. Mary aims to help people sort specific problems, set realistic next steps, and reduce day-to-day overwhelm.
Mary trained at the graduate level in professional counseling and has worked in schools, community programs, and courts. She describes coaching-style elements alongside therapy when clients want focused change or clearer decision-making.
People who come for help usually want practical strategies, clearer communication at home, or ways to manage mood and stress. Mary encourages a steady pace in sessions, with room for grief, adjustment, and problem-solving as needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings, priorities, and the next small steps when home life feels difficult.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and how they affect mood. It offers concrete exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low mood.
The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and reducing destructive patterns between close partners. It teaches specific skills for talking about hard topics and rebuilding trust over time.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques together and adjusting the plan as issues change.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue steady work on communication and coping skills from wherever they are located.
