Mary Keller, LPC - Therapist in South Carolina

About Mary

Mary Keller welcomes parents and individuals feeling overwhelmed by change or family stress. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is hardest right now. Mary is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC who practices from South Carolina and brings ten years of experience to everyday problems.

She focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. Her approach centers on helping people rebuild routines and hope after loss, conflict, or major life shifts.

Background and approach

Mary uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also leans on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each persons needs and goals. Mary has worked in a number of settings over her career, including independent practice, community programs, courts, detention centers, and schools.

Those varied roles shaped a straightforward style that balances active coaching with listening. She often combines brief skill-building with deeper conversations about family history and relationships. Parents may find support for everyday parenting challenges, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, or caregiver stress.

Mary also addresses grief, anxiety, depression, anger, intimacy-related issues, and career or life-purpose questions. She pays attention to both practical coping and the meanings people carry from their past. Her work emphasizes collaboration.

Together with each client she identifies small, clear goals and tests approaches that fit their life. Sessions tend to be task-focused and hopeful, with attention to what will help between meetings.

How Mary uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. Online this means the therapist follows each persons lead and helps clarify goals, which works well for people facing family stress or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions Mary helps clients spot patterns and tries small exercises they can practice between video or text sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

The Gottman Method brings practical tools for relationship communication and conflict management. Online sessions can include skill practice, role plays, and clear homework to improve interactions at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary treats choosing methods as a team effort and adjusts techniques based on each clients needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and try what fits best for the situation.

Online therapy with her offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls let for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick check-ins or step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to keep progress going without adding travel time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
