MEET MARY KATHERINE LANCE, LMFT
Hi! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Mary Katherine.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist in Greenville, SC, I work with individuals (16+) and couples who want to heal, grow, and thrive.
Whatever you're facing,
therapy can help.
MY SPECIALTIES
LGBTQ+ Affirming Support
Do you feel like you have to hold back, even in places that claim to be non-judgmental?
You can experience what it’s like to be seen & accepted for who you really are.
Religious Trauma & Deconstruction
Has questioning your faith turned your world upside down and left you feeling lost?
You can figure out what really matters to you and build a life that is your own.
The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
Have you been told you're 'too much' because you feel things more intensely than others?
You can embrace your emotions instead of feeling consumed by them.
OCD
Are you exhausted from trying to keep OCD quiet—only to have it come back louder?
You can build a life that is meaningful and fulfilling, even when OCD shows up.
Abortion Support
Have you found yourself thinking about your abortion and wondering if it might help to talk it through?
You can have a safe, judgment-free space to sort through whatever you're feeling.
Couples
Does it seem like the harder you and your partner try to fix things, the more disconnected you feel?
You can create a relationship where you both feel seen, heard, and valued.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or exhausted from trying to figure it all out, you’re in the right place.
MY APPROACH
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Greenville, South Carolina, and I help people like you experience breakthroughs when life feels overwhelming.
Some people come to me because they want a safe, LGBTQ+ affirming space where they can feel seen and supported while exploring their identity, relationships, and goals.
Others reach out for specialized support with religious trauma and faith deconstruction, an abortion experience, OCD, being a highly sensitive person (HSP), or relationship conflict.
In our work together, I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I’ll help you find your own — the ones that align with your values and beliefs.
Together, we’ll get curious about what’s holding you back and work toward breakthroughs that will empower you to live a life with purpose and the confidence to navigate all of its challenges.
I BELIEVE THERAPY ISN'T ABOUT FINDING THE "RIGHT" WAY TO LIVE. IT'S ABOUT CREATING A LIFE THAT FEELS AUTHENTIC & MEANINGFUL.
FEMINIST
As a feminist therapist, I recognize how societal pressures, gender dynamics, and systemic inequalities can impact mental health.
My approach focuses on helping you feel empowered to live a life rooted in your values rather than external expectations.
LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING
Therapy should be a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I’m not part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I’m committed to being an ally and advocate.
My goal as a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist is to create a space where you can be your most authentic self.
PRO-CHOICE
I’m a pro-choice therapist who believes in respecting your autonomy and right to self-determination.
In our work, you’ll find a compassionate space to share your story and process your experience without judgment.

​
I am not in-network with any insurance providers at this time.
​
Upon request, I will provide any client with a monthly or annual “superbill,” which they can then submit to insurance. If the client’s insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, they may be eligible for reimbursement. It will be the client’s responsibility to verify their benefits as well as to submit any and all documentation. Full payment will be due at the time of each session.
Tired of the constant mental tug-of-war? I am ready to help you let go of the struggle and embrace who you are using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY CAN HELP YOU BREAK THROUGH
Many therapy models focus on changing how you think or feel. But if you’re here, I’m guessing you’ve already tried that. You’ve likely spent a lot of time and energy trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts, emotions, or memories, only to find they come back stronger than before.
ACT offers a different path that is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and psychological flexibility.
Instead of engaging in a tug-of-war with your mind, ACT helps you step back, make room for discomfort, and relate to your thoughts and feelings in a new way.
This is why I use the evidence-based approach of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT, which is pronounced like the word “act”) to help my clients live with greater meaning, purpose, and authenticity—even when they’re dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions that feel out of their control.
As you learn to drop the struggle, you’ll find more clarity and energy to focus on what truly matters to you, no matter what your mind says.
With ACT, the goal isn’t to feel good all the time—it’s to live a life that feels deeply aligned with who you are, even when discomfort and challenges show up along the way. It’s about breaking through the noise of your mind so you can move toward a life of meaning, purpose, and connection.
