About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions using practical, evidence-informed approaches. Her style is straightforward and person-centered, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives.
Mary blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Sessions often include talking through current problems, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing simple grounding or breathing exercises.
Background and approach
She tailors the plan to each person’s needs and goals, so work is concrete and goal-focused. Her background includes a decade of work with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses issues like ADHD, addictions, and intimacy-related worries.
Mary pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect present day reactions. People who come to Mary often want practical coping tools, clearer thinking patterns, and steadier daily routines. She uses a mix of short-term strategies and deeper exploration when helpful.
The goal is to reduce immediate distress while also learning long-term skills. Mary provides services from South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session according to availability.
Approach and online options for skill-based care
Mary often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive-behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean practicing breathing and mindful awareness one week, then working on behavioral experiments or thought records the next.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access consistent support from a licensed professional.
