01About Mary
Mary McKeown is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with three years of therapy experience and over a decade of advocacy work. She has supported people from many backgrounds, including older adults, at-risk youth, and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. Mary focuses on straightforward, practical help for everyday problems.
Her sessions often address stress, anxiety, and depression. She also works with issues like addiction, grief, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Mary pays attention to life transitions, career concerns, and the strain that caregiving or burnout can cause. Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn calming skills. She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and tell their story in a more useful way.
These methods are adapted to each person's needs rather than applied in a single recipe. In sessions she aims to build a collaborative plan with clear, practical steps. Clients can expect concrete coping techniques, skill practice, and room to talk through feelings.
Group work has also been part of her experience when that fits a person's goals. Mary welcomes conversation about what someone wants to work on and how therapy should look. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
She communicates plainly and focuses on helping people move toward the life changes they want.

04Online support
How CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Work Online
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and then try small changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.Mindfulness Therapy is taught as simple, moment-to-moment techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with panic, rumination, and coping during stressful days.
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. It helps separate a person from a problem and open up new ways to describe difficult experiences like trauma or grief.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. The plan can change as needs evolve so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through transitions while keeping the focus on concrete skills and real-life application.
