About Mary
Mary Keller is an LPC who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults on self-esteem, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, career questions, and coping after loss.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and centered on the individual. Mary draws on about ten years of professional experience in counseling across many settings.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and help clients find their own answers. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.
Her background includes work in independent practice, community settings, churches, courts, detention centers, and schools. Mary earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services from Clayton State University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.
She holds licensed professional counselor credentials in South Carolina and Georgia (SC LPC, GA LPC). Mary often blends several methods to meet the needs of the person in front of her.
She incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when helping people clarify goals, rethink stories about themselves, and find practical next steps. The Gottman Method is also part of her toolbox for addressing interpersonal patterns.
Her work covers many concerns including adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, midlife questions, veteran and armed forces issues, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions aim to restore options, reduce distress, and set manageable goals for change.
How Mary’s Approaches Work Online
The Gottman Method focuses on how people relate to each other and on changing everyday interaction patterns. It can help with communication problems, trust issues, and rebuilding connection by identifying practical behavior shifts and conversation skills.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions. This approach supports clearer self-understanding and helps clients set goals that feel right for them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping during life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends approaches as needed and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from wherever they are. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options can reduce travel time, allow more flexible scheduling, and help therapy continue during transitions.
