About Mandy
Mandy Dalrymple is a licensed clinical social worker with LMSW and LICSW credentials and 25 years in social work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. Mandy aims to build a strong working relationship first so people feel heard and respected from the start.
She listens actively and keeps a nonjudgmental, down-to-earth style during sessions. That approach helps people talk through grief, trauma, substance use concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
Mandy also supports those facing career changes, caregiver stress, or issues around intimacy and communication. Her background includes work in foster care, adoption, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox settings, and personal counseling. Those experiences shape a practical and flexible way of working with different life situations.
She combines real-world experience with an emphasis on clear, achievable goals. Mandy uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She draws on mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavioral methods when emotional regulation or intense feelings are present.
Together she and the client pick strategies that fit the person's life and priorities. Outside work she spends time with her teenage sons and a pug named Lucy, and enjoys reading, photography, and music. People who want straightforward help with anxiety, coping skills, parenting strain, or major life transitions may find her practical style a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps toward a values-driven life rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to break patterns that maintain depression or worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy uses a collaborative process to figure out which techniques fit a person's goals and daily life. She adjusts methods over time, drawing on ACT, CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or DBT skills depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support short check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These formats make it easier to keep sessions consistent while balancing school, work, caregiving, or other obligations.
