Mary Keever, LCSW

Mary Keever is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes. She aims to treat each person with respect and to work toward the goals they value most.

Mary centers sessions on the person in front of her and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She draws on evidence-based techniques to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her background in clinical settings has shaped a practical, results-oriented style.

Mary also brings skills from health coaching to support overall well-being. That work can help people set realistic goals, follow through on plans, and manage health-related demands. Coaching is used alongside clinical work when it fits the client’s needs and goals.

She often uses approaches that focus on present needs and practical skills. Cognitive behavioral strategies help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy offer tools for emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing can help people find the drive to make changes.

Mary works with a wide range of concerns, including caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness or pain, relationship and communication problems, grief, sleep struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Her goal is to listen first, then build a plan that fits each person's life and priorities.

How Mary blends practical approaches with online care

Mary draws on client-centered therapy to place the person's priorities first, listening and shaping the work around each individual's needs and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to teach strategies for changing them in day-to-day life. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, supplies concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Mary reviews goals, values, and current challenges with each person and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Together they decide which techniques fit most naturally with the client's life and aims.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so changes learned in sessions can be tested in real life. Licensed professionals can help match session structure and tools to what will be most useful for everyday routines and goals.
