About Mary
Mary Keller is an LPC licensed in South Carolina and Georgia with ten years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression, and other life changes. Mary also addresses compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in session. Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on client-centered techniques to focus on each person's experience and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate.
Mary trained with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. Her background includes private practice plus work in community settings, churches, courts, detention centers, death row, and a range of schools. That variety informs how she helps people handle real-world stressors.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps to try between meetings. She will break problems into manageable parts, help people test new ways of thinking, and look at patterns in relationships and family life. Practical skills for managing anger, grief, and transitions are often part of the work.
People seeking help with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, or questions about life purpose may find her experience relevant. She also lists work related to aging and veteran concerns. International clients are accepted and English is used for sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Mary commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered methods. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving them a chance to shape goals and pace. She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work. Gottman-style work looks at interaction patterns between partners and teaches specific skills for communication and repair. These approaches can address anxiety, relationship conflict, grief, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past to decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning may shift as progress is made. The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from a quieter location or avoid camera use if that helps them engage.Areas of expertise
