About Mary

Mary Keller is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, and life transitions. Mary helps people who are fed up with snapping at loved ones, wrestling with built-up resentment, or struggling to manage stress at work.

Mary draws on a mix of practical methods rather than one single technique. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete skills, and honest conversation. She uses evidence-informed tools to help people change unhelpful thinking and rebuild better patterns in relationships and daily life.

Her background includes work in private practice, community settings, schools, courts, and detention centers. That variety shaped a direct style that aims to be useful in everyday situations. She also brings experience supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, and major life shifts.

In session Mary combines client-centered listening with approaches that teach new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and shift thinking that fuels anger and anxiety. Narrative and motivational techniques help people reframe difficult stories and find practical steps forward.

People often come with a mix of issues - parenting pressure plus job stress, or relationship strain alongside low self-esteem. Mary helps untangle those layers and build manageable strategies for change. Her work includes coaching elements for people who want active, goal-oriented support.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and developing goals together. In online sessions this means using conversation to clarify what feels most urgent and practical, then shaping sessions around those priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions to practice new responses to anger and anxiety.

The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships. When relevant, Mary introduces small, research-based exercises to reduce escalation and rebuild connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary treats the choice of methods as collaborative - she will review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. That shared decision-making shapes session plans and pacing.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as session types are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week. It can allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or reduce travel time so more consistent sessions are possible. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily life is part of the first meeting.
