Mary Keller, LPC

Mary Keller is an LPC who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She works with adults facing career change, caregiving demands, midlife questions, and concerns related to aging and geriatric issues. Her manner is grounded and practical, aimed at finding clearer next steps rather than layering on jargon.

Mary brings ten years of counseling experience and practice across community, school, and private settings. She trained in psychology and professional counseling and has held licenses in South Carolina and Georgia. That mix of settings means she is used to short-term problem work and longer therapeutic conversations when they are needed.

Her approach blends listening with active techniques. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and narrative ideas to reframe life stories.

Mary often integrates the Gottman Method when couples work on communication and closeness. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who want to make practical changes but feel stuck. She adapts methods to a person’s goals and pace rather than using a single fixed plan.

People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback and concrete steps to try between sessions. She also offers coaching-style conversations when clients want focused guidance toward a specific outcome.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person; the therapist reflects concerns, validates experience, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple strategies to test and change habits that cause distress. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and problem-solving skills for partners, offering practical exercises to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a client’s goals and preferences and then suggest one or more methods to try. That process is collaborative, and adjustments are made based on what helps the person progress.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work or caregiving demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed or make it simpler to include focused coaching between longer conversations. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of listening, skill-building, and homework to each person’s situation so therapy can fit into everyday life.
