About Mary

Mary Mathis brings more than 13 years of professional counseling experience to her work with individuals, families, and children. She helps people navigate moments of success and joy as well as times of struggle, loss, anger, loneliness, and overwhelm, focusing on practical support and direction to move forward. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in South Carolina, she draws on formal training and a range of hands-on roles to shape a strengths-based, solution-oriented practice.

Her academic background includes a BA from Purdue University in Individual and Family Development and an MA in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University. Mary has served as a Multisystemic (MST) therapist working with HIV-positive teenagers, a school-based mental health counselor, and a Military and Family Life Counselor. Those roles inform her work with stress, anxiety, parenting, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, relationship and family issues, career concerns, and compassion fatigue among other areas.

Mary uses a variety of counseling techniques to match each person’s unique story, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Brief Solution-Focused approaches. She emphasizes identifying inner strengths and applying them to create change. When someone is ready to seek help, Mary offers supportive guidance to heal, grow, and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mary Mathis integrates several practical approaches to support change and resilience. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and helps the person identify their own goals and solutions - this approach is well suited to coping with life changes, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then develops concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be useful for parenting challenges, career shifts, and behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Mary works collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and those living in areas with limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
