About Mary
Mary Klein is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience in West Virginia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who may be overwhelmed.
She focuses on practical coping skills that can be used day to day. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, so people leave with clear next steps.
How Mary works
Mary aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. Over two decades she has supported adults and adolescents dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and substance issues. She also addresses relationship transitions like divorce and separation and challenges such as isolation and workplace stress.
Her approach is adaptable to each person’s situation. Mary emphasizes small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. She works with clients to build confidence, reduce symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.
Progress is tracked through agreed-upon goals and regular check-ins. Sessions can include problem-solving, coping strategies, and skills for quitting smoking or vaping when that is a concern. English-language services are available, and international clients may be supported depending on scheduling and logistics.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online support
Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problem-solving and skill building. One common approach teaches coping strategies for anxiety and panic, helping people learn breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce fear and avoidance. Another approach emphasizes mood management and behavioral activation, breaking activities into doable steps to lift mood and restore daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about current problems, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That plan is reviewed and adjusted over time so work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let the therapist observe expression and tone while keeping appointments flexible. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when video feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter skill rehearsals, and ways to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and changing schedules.
