About Mary

Mary Mathis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who guides people through stressful transitions, grief, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and family difficulties. She draws on more than 13 years of experience helping clients identify strengths and practical steps to change their situations.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes understanding each person’s story and building on existing resources to foster growth and resilience. Her background includes a BA in Individual and Family Development from Purdue University and an MA in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University.

Mary has provided multisystemic therapy for HIV-positive teens, school-based mental health services, and support as a Military and Family Life Counselor. She integrates client-centered listening with approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Mary encourages those facing parenting struggles, relationship and family conflicts, trauma, depression, career concerns, or compassion fatigue to consider counseling as a step toward clearer direction. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients in moving from painful or stuck places toward healthier patterns and practical change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and supporting clients where they are, helping them name priorities and build on personal strengths to navigate stress, family concerns, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal goals and resolve ambivalence when change feels overwhelming, making it a good match for people seeking direction or struggling with motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites clients to weigh in on what feels useful so therapy aligns with real-life priorities and progress.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules or different life circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between appointments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward concrete changes.
