Mary Keller , LPC

Mary Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career questions, and major life changes. Mary works with adults on relationship and family challenges and supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and on client-centered practices to keep the client's perspective central.

Mary blends several methods so people get what fits them best. She uses narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories and Gottman-informed ideas to address relationship patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding momentum toward change.

She brings about ten years of counseling experience and holds LPC licensure in South Carolina and Georgia. Her background includes work in private practice and community settings. That variety helps her match practical tools to day-to-day life problems.

People often come for help with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, aging and geriatric topics, or questions about life purpose and midlife shifts. Mary aims to help people find clearer direction and more manageable ways to cope.

How Mary’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship; it helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. The Gottman-informed methods target patterns in relationships and help partners learn new ways to communicate and solve problems.

Mary treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests tools or methods to try. Together you decide what fits best and adjust over time based on what helps you make progress.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working toward practical change.
