Mary Keever , LCSW

Mary Keever brings eight years of clinical experience working in doctors' offices to her practice. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) - a credential that indicates advanced training and licensure in clinical social work - and is also a certified health coach, combining clinical assessment with practical coaching to support improved well-being.

Mary approaches each person with respect and the assumption that they are the expert on their own life. She uses strong diagnostic skills and evidence-based interventions to tailor care to each individual's needs. Much of her work focuses on depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as trauma, helping people understand how past experiences influence present functioning and supporting their unique path toward healing.

In her role as a health coach she helps clients translate motivation into achievable goals, implement treatment plans from other professionals, and address health demands that affect daily life. Her work emphasizes techniques grounded in research and responsive to each client's priorities. Mary aims to walk alongside people with compassion and practical guidance, helping them identify strengths, break down barriers, and move toward greater balance and well-being.

Clinical approaches and online care

Mary integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety and depression. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior, often benefiting those with trauma-related symptoms and difficulty regulating feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary and each client work together to determine which strategies align with the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier to maintain. Sessions may take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be offered through live chat or text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and provide ongoing support between more formal sessions.
