About
As someone who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have a deep understanding for those who feel disconnected or alone. I am experienced in helping others understand that they are not alone.
My name is Keely C. Black. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor currently practicing in the state of Texas. I earned my Masters degree from the University of New Orleans. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and geriatrics for over 20 years. I have also been successful working with the LGBTQ+ communities. I use an integrated approach to counseling (which includes PersonCentered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT). Moreover, I am passionate about supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, burnout, self-esteem, trauma, and relationship concerns while helping them reconnect with their strengths and goals.
Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are powerful, evidence-based frameworks. Person-Centered builds self-worth through empathy, MI resolves ambivalence and builds the drive for change, and CBT provides the practical tools to actively modify negative thoughts and behaviors.
You don’t have to navigate a troubled journey alone, I am here to help. Wherever you are right now, your experiences matter, and there is a safe, welcoming space waiting for you. I invite you to take a gentle step forward today by scheduling an appointment with me. We can explore your path at a pace that feels completely right for you.

The goal of my psychoanalytic, solution-focused, strength-based psychotherapy approach is to stimulate and initiate a healthy inner dialogue around troublesome, challenging mental health and psychic conditions, and help individuals navigate ways to a more balanced, wholesome self and a satisfying quality of life.

Are you experiencing stress, feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, and lonely? Have you resorted to substances alone to deal with life? Are you having issues communicating with your significant other? Are you lost in life and too stressed or lonely to make changes? Do you have longstanding issues, perhaps maybe from childhood, that have not been manageable? Do you need help figuring out who you are, and what you would love to do with your life?
Marcia is here to help you soothe excessive worrying, sadness, loneliness, fears, addictions, and/or anger, or anything that keeps you from functioning in life. She will provide a safe, warm, and trusting environment. Marcia uses a variety of therapy methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, reality therapy, and psychoanalytic/Jungian therapy. When dealing with longstanding issues, especially from childhood, Marcia uses a combination of psychoanalysis, analytical/Jungian, reality therapy, and CBT to help you make changes to yourself and your life.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is being engaged in the conversation and utilizing the tools of Zoom to keep the session engaging.
I teach the same tools I would teach with in-person therapy sessions. In some cases, it is more beneficial to have online therapy because the resources are right there on the screen for everyone to see.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when we run out of things to talk about and/or sessions are canceled more often because they feel they don't need them.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with hobbies that bring them joy, outdoor activities in order to be physically active and get that fresh air, mindfulness activities, and creative tasks to utilize their artistic brain.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can double check and test the link, find a private space to speak freely, and plug in that laptop/phone!
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
