About Mary
Mary Keller is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with state licenses in South Carolina and Georgia and ten years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, anger, and changes in work or life direction. Mary uses plain talk and practical steps to help clients understand what drives their reactions and find better ways to handle them.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work, motivational interviewing for building readiness to change, and narrative therapy to reframe painful stories. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and real-life strategies that can be applied between meetings.
Mary’s background includes work in private practice, community settings, schools, courts, and correctional environments. That variety has shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations. She aims to help people regain a sense of forward motion after loss, conflict, or burnout.
In practical terms she helps clients manage anger, improve communication, navigate parenting stresses, and cope with grief or career shifts. Her work includes attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and related topics. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on what the client wants to change.
Sessions are conducted in English and Mary is open to working with international clients through the site. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and helping them name what matters. It is useful for unloading difficult feelings and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, and low mood. The Gottman Method offers specific tools for couples to improve communication and reduce reactive conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, review what has or hasn’t worked before, and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. That plan can change as the client notices what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these approaches to help clients practice skills and apply them between sessions.
