About Mary
Mary Keller is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make change feel doable and grounded in everyday life.
She draws on ten years of counseling experience across independent practice and community settings. Sessions often include clear, practical steps for managing anxiety, improving communication, or coping with loss. Mary pays attention to what a person needs right now and adjusts the pace accordingly.
Background and approach
Her work blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. For couples or partners she can use parts of the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and rebuild trust.
Mary also brings motivational interviewing into sessions when someone needs help clarifying goals and staying motivated for change. She supports parents dealing with parenting stress and people navigating career shifts, adoption or blended family concerns, and caregiver strain. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person seeking help.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks open questions, and offers feedback that helps clarify goals and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Online CBT often uses brief skill-building, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or lift mood through concrete steps.
The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills and repairing trust between partners. In virtual sessions it can include guided conversations, structured exercises, and tools to improve everyday interaction patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they’ll decide whether to emphasize listening, skill practice, motivational interviewing, or relationship tools so the plan fits real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
