About Mary
Mary Keane is a DC LICSW with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Mary also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment and family of origin concerns, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life related caregiving challenges.
She recognizes that taking the first step can feel like another task on an already full list. Many people delay seeking help because of time, logistics, or the unease of talking about private matters to a stranger. Mary acknowledges those concerns and aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps.
In sessions she listens and helps clients name what is getting in the way of clearer decisions or calmer days. Conversations often center on patterns in relationships, recurring guilt or shame, and ways of managing intense stress. For people living around someone else's drinking, moods, or crises, she talks through strategies to protect one's energy and sense of self.
Mary draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on control issues, body image concerns, and coping with loss. She also supports people facing aging, hospice, or end-of-life decisions, offering time to sort priorities and practical matters. Her work includes attention to first responder stress and fatherhood issues when relevant.
Sessions are conducted in English and organized for people in the District of Columbia. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see if the fit feels right.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Mary draws on practical, evidence-based approaches to guide sessions in clear ways. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily routines. This helps when people find themselves repeatedly putting others first or feeling stuck in the same conflicts.Another approach centers on skills for managing anxiety and stress. Sessions teach concrete techniques for calming intense moments, organizing worries, and breaking large problems into manageable steps. These skills are useful for coping with life changes, chronic health challenges, and grief.
Finding the best approach happens together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that suit the person's situation. Adjustments are made as they go so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the clinician during the matching step about how to make sessions work with your everyday schedule.
