About Mary

Mary (Peggy) Keating brings a seasoned, empathetic presence to therapy, helping people address the issues that keep them from living life to the fullest.

Mary holds the LISW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, and uses a range of clinical approaches to match each person’s needs. Her style emphasizes collaboration, clarity, and steady guidance to help people move toward clearer goals, healthier relationships, and improved day to day functioning.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and people may switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many, online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to pursue personal growth and problem solving with a trained therapist.
