About Mary
Mary Keever is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens first, aiming to learn what matters to each person. Her style is practical and respectful, geared toward people who want clear steps and steady support.
She draws on eight years of experience in medical settings and meets people where they are. Mary leans on common-sense tools and evidence-based methods to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
She treats trauma’s effects on current life, and works with mood, sleep, and stress problems among other concerns. Mary also blends health coaching with therapy when it suits someone’s goals. Coaching helps set small, doable steps toward better routines, stronger habits, and clearer priorities.
This can support medical plans, work-life balance, and personal goals alongside talk therapy. Sessions are collaborative. Mary sees each person as the expert on their life and helps them shape useful plans.
She uses practical exercises, skill-building, and check-ins so progress feels measurable and relevant. Her approach includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Mary practices in North Carolina and holds the LCSW credential.
Conversations are in English and offered through several online formats to fit different needs.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person’s priorities and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name what matters most so plans are useful and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep stress and depression going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in stressful moments.Choosing an approach is a team decision. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging can help with brief updates, homework, or short coaching-style guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and health routines while still using evidence-informed approaches.
