About Mary
LPC Mary McKeown has three years of clinical therapy experience and practices in Wisconsin. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and related concerns. Sessions address practical problems like coping with life changes, parenting strain, career stress, grief, and issues tied to LGBTQ identity.
Before focusing on therapy, she spent over a decade in advocacy roles supporting older adults, at-risk youth, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. That background influences how she listens to individual histories and life events. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy as part of her work.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior, practices mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, and uses narrative techniques to rethink painful stories. Sessions may include skill-building, reflection, and practical steps to test changes between meetings.
She has experience with substance use concerns and post-traumatic stress, and she also supports people dealing with isolation or compassion fatigue. She aims to form a collaborative plan based on each person’s goals and day-to-day reality.
Language of service is English and she works from Wisconsin. People should confirm current session options before booking so they know how she is seeing clients and what format will be used.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework that people can try between meetings to test new ways of coping.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These skills aim to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment focus, which can help with anxiety, stress, and symptoms of depression.
Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves. In sessions she helps clients separate themselves from painful labels and identify alternative ways to describe their experiences.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That often means trying a mix of techniques and adjusting over time based on what is helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients practice skills and keep momentum between sessions.
