Mary Dellinger

Mary Dellinger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of experience. She uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful so conversations feel useful from the first session.

She combines client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral tools. That means sessions often focus on clear goals, skills to change unhelpful thinking, and practical steps to try between meetings. Mary also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns of thought and calm intense emotions.

Her experience covers mood issues like depression and bipolar, as well as attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Mary adapts what she uses to fit each person’s situation. She explains options and helps clients choose techniques that match their goals. Sessions are intended to be a place where people can talk without judgment and work toward practical change.

People often seek her help for anger, coping with change, sleep problems, parenting stress, or career-related strain. When goals are clearer, she helps create step-by-step plans and teaches skills to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Mary uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs and goals. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and practical choices so clients set the pace and priorities for their work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep trouble.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then pick or combine methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday life.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and check in during breaks from work or between errands. It can also let people try shorter check-ins or sessions that emphasize skill practice and homework between meetings.
