Mary Keller, LPC

Mary Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions aim to clarify goals, reduce overwhelming feelings, and restore a sense of direction.

Mary draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and narrative approaches to adapt to each person's situation. She blends conversations about thoughts and behaviors with attention to personal stories and values. That mix helps people make small changes that add up over time.

Her background includes work across private practice, community settings, schools, and courts. This variety shaped a flexible style that fits many different concerns, from parenting and caregiver stress to midlife change and career questions. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and challenges tied to military service.

In sessions Mary uses straightforward tools - thought tracking, goal setting, motivational interviewing questions, and relationship-focused conversations influenced by the Gottman Method. She helps clients practice skills between sessions and adjust plans when needed. The focus is on realistic steps that fit everyday life.

People who connect well with her often want a calm, structured space to work through tough moments and rebuild confidence. She invites clients to set the pace and brings practical techniques to help them reach their goals.

How Mary Uses Therapeutic Methods Online

Mary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete strategies to test in daily life.

She also practices client-centered therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s priorities. That approach helps people feel heard and figure out their own next steps at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then tailor techniques to fit those needs. She adjusts methods as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions come in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer therapy conversations and relationship work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
