About Mary
Mary Keever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Mary values each person’s own knowledge about their life and meets them without judgment.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions usually focus on what feels most urgent and useful in daily life. She blends talking, skill practice, and goal-setting so people leave with something they can try between visits.
Background and approach
Mary has spent much of her career in medical settings, which shaped her focus on symptoms like low mood, anxious thoughts, sleeping problems, and trauma reactions. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, identity and LGBT issues, and challenges related to chronic illness and caregiving.
Her work uses approaches that include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In plain terms, that means she listens carefully, helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns, teaches coping skills for strong emotions, and supports steps toward meaningful goals. Mary also offers health coaching alongside therapy to support habits, routines, and practical steps for better well-being.
That coaching focuses on small, doable changes and on using strengths people already have. She aims to walk alongside clients while they build a life that feels more manageable and aligned with their values.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people name priorities and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers clear strategies for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary treats this as a collaboration - she will check in about what feels helpful, try techniques, and adjust based on your goals and preferences. That way, therapy stays focused on what actually improves daily life rather than fitting a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want a full session, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between visits, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
