Teletherapy for South Carolina

I’m Mary Katherine (she/her), a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist working with couples as well as individuals aged 16 and older. I enjoy helping my clients reconnect with their values so that they can navigate life changes and challenges while also reclaiming hope and empowerment. Some of the subjects I work with include self-esteem, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, recovery after leaving an abusive relationship, religious deconstruction, after-abortion care, and no-contact adult child-parent relationships.

What would happen this time if you could tap into your personal essence and attain a peace of mind? What would happen this time if you allowed yourself to heal from your emotional wounds? Life stressors have a way of making you feel insignificant, broken, angry, depressed and anxious. Whether you are grieving from a loss, having relationship issues, or suffering from past trauma, healing and happiness is possible. Don't suffer in silence. Find your way back to being the unique person that you are, by practicing selfcare and mind care.

Relationship struggles are my focus, though these may be explored alone or together. We can work to help you navigate high-stakes situations to strengthen your most intimate, important attachments. We all need to feel understood, and deserve to feel loved. Through a relational, systemic approach, we can explore and strengthen your connecting bonds and your place within them. Life is as much about how we tell our stories as it is the content of these narratives. Attachment is a key part of my work with romantic / sexual partners and families. Being newly seen and heard in more complete ways can be transformative and hope-inducing.

Sex-positive therapy...What does that mean? Well, that means that you will find a non-judgmental, empathetic space to talk about desire and sex without a therapist attempting to cure or dismiss the things that are important to you. You may be in a BDSM relationship where the boundaries and rules need clarity. You may be grappling with the idea of trying a fetish or kink that you have been taught should bring you shame. You could be struggling with self-worth due to our toxic dating app culture where connections are swiped and ghosting is common. Maybe you are fighting to find your beautiful sexuality again after trauma.

I'm proud to work individually with diverse populations, such as tweens, adolescents, young adults/college students, and adults in South Carolina. Though I am able to offer my services to the vast majority of people dealing with most issues, my specialty is with those who are struggling with Panic Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD. Many of my clients have an emotionally sensitive temperament and need different skills to create a life that has meaning and purpose.

I'm glad you are here! Coming to therapy isn’t always easy, so if this is your first time, or you are looking for a new therapeutic experience, I’ll help you feel comfortable, safe, and confident about our work together. I am passionate about working with individuals who are considering how positive change can impact their lives. Together, we will uncover the behaviors and feelings that have kept you stuck - stuck in your life, your relationships, and work or school. My style is friendly, personable, engaged, and supportive. We can kick off our shoes and sip coffee or tea while we talk.

~ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS~ I see the potential in all human beings for change and growth, and believe that everyone is capable of finding happiness. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or any other issue, I can join you on your journey toward healing. I create a safe and comfortable space in the therapy setting so that you can explore new ways of understanding yourself and make changes important to your well-being. I see myself as a guide. I listen carefully to what you're saying, and support you in finding your own unique answers to your questions.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem or did you grow up in an abusive home? Are you married to someone who is abusive emotionally or physically or have you discovered your spouse's infidelity? If you are struggling with any of these symptoms or to trust in your relationship, let us work together so we can develop a plan of how to reduce your symptoms, increase your self esteem, work through the abuse of child/adulthood, or address the trauma of infidelity.

Accepting New Clients! You strive to be the best, the best partner, the best parent, the best at the office, but you always feel like you fall short. Will life always be this chaotic and exhausting? Despite your best efforts, there never seems to be enough time in the day. After caring for so many others in your life, you struggle to care for yourself. You're constantly running on empty. Although you recognize the patterns in your life you don't want to repeat, you can't seem to stop the cycle. In the past, you've tried to make changes on your own, but nothing works long-term. You're stuck and not sure what to do next.

Offering virtual sessions weekdays from 7 am to 4 pm, with some Saturday morning availability. Schedule your first appointment by reaching out via email. I am committed to making life easier. I believe the therapeutic process should feel comfortable so I have a personable and nonjudgmental approach. Together, we reflect on emotions and address your concerns, explore root causes, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. You'll learn about how your mind is working and how to take charge of your thoughts. Your path to a better tomorrow begins here.

People do not look for a counselor when life is going well so if you are reading this bio I imagine that your are experiencing some difficult times, and emotions. You want to alleviate the weight on your chest, knot in your stomach, and ache in your soul. Maybe you want to learn how to reduce conflict in your home and create a stronger relationship in the process. I would love to work with you to do just that. I am a double graduate from Liberty University (BS Psychology, MA Counseling), a certified trauma treatment professional, EFT tapping level 2 professional and a South Carolina LLR Certified Licensed Professional Counselor

I love my job. I look forward to working with each person who comes into my office. I begin our work by getting to know you, your story, your world; the things you want to change, improve or heal from help steer the journey. Exploring areas for growth and identifying strengths while building new skills is an ongoing process that I encourage. My goal is always to provide a safe space where you feel valued and heard so that you will be willing to step out of your comfort zone with me because this is where growth and healing can occur.

Therapy is like co-authoring a story—embarking on a great journey, overcoming obstacles, noticing the softer moments, and forging a path toward hope. It's an honor to witness my clients' growth, as authenticity and well-being positively shape their world and narratives. I am committed to helping my clients bravely explore new ways toward self-compassion, authenticity, and wholeness. My work focuses on deepening relational satisfaction, creating safe and meaningful connections, and establishing healthy patterns that promote both individual and collective well-being.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.

Are you someone who feels like nothing is working? Someone who feels like no matter what they try, their pain seems to keep getting worse? Pain like anxiety, sadness, low self esteem. Or obsessions, bad body image, trauma, guilt? Pain does not discriminate, and neither should treatment. I love working with people who are too smart for their own good. People who know what they are struggling with, but just can't move past it. People who know exactly what to do in Balder's Gate, but can't seem to figure out this coping thing.

I am currently accepting new clients and offer a free, 15-minute consultation to explore your needs and see if I am the right fit for your healing journey! I am eager to work with clients who are ready to make changes in their lives and strengthen their mental health. My goal is for you to feel supported while you work on becoming the version of yourself you feel is the most authentic, genuine, and comfortable in your humanness.

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for my clients to heal, grow, and show up comfortably as their authentic selves. It is important to me that I provide a space that promotes collaboration, is compassion-focused, and non-judgmental. I strive to serve as a guide working collaboratively with clients to promote healing and growth through support, compassion, and empowerment.

Are you so busy caring for and thinking of others you have lost yourself? Going through the motions, feeling anxious, overwhelmed or angry? Do you avoid finding time for yourself because you feel guilty? Are you feeling more and more disconnected from loved ones & yourself? Do you long for something more? I have helped many who were in the same place. You are not alone. You can break free from these things and begin to feel joy again. You can uncover blind spots that have kept you from moving forward & learn resiliency for the future. You can rediscover parts of yourself you have lost & find more meaning in your life.
