About Mary
Mary Keever is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck by listening first and then working with them toward clear goals. Many people come to her for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, or life changes and parenting concerns.
Mary uses an approach that centers the person in the room. She treats each client as the expert on their life and builds plans around what matters to them.
Background and approach
Common tools she draws on include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and practical skill-building. Her background includes years working in medical settings, which shaped a practical focus on everyday functioning and health-related barriers. That experience also made her comfortable helping people manage chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the fatigue that comes with long-term conditions.
Mary also works as a health coach and integrates coaching when clients want help setting and following through on goals. Coaching helps break larger aims into small steps and uses motivation to create sustainable change. It can be used alongside therapy work to strengthen routines, sleep, and self-care.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person. Mary aims to help people reduce symptoms, improve coping, and move toward the life they want. Her style is warm, straightforward, and goal-focused, and she will work with each client to find approaches that fit their needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a therapist who listens, reflects, and collaborates to make practical plans.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep difficulties because it gives step-by-step strategies to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those tools can help people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then blend methods that fit. This collaborative process helps shape a plan people can use in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging allows shorter, ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
