Mary Dellinger, LPC

Mary Dellinger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends practical skills with a warm, person-focused style. She centers sessions on each person's needs and goals. Her approach aims to make change feel possible even when life feels overwhelming.

Over a decade of counseling work informs her care. She draws from client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also brings in ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice moments of stress and respond differently. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover how past relationships and experiences shape today's reactions. Mary mixes these approaches rather than using any single method exclusively.

She has supported people through anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, body image, caregiver stress, and career strain.

Sessions are adapted to the client's pace and priorities. Mary encourages practical steps between meetings and clear, simple goals during them. To begin, people choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Mary’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to each person. Online sessions can still center the client's priorities, with the therapist reflecting concerns and pacing the work to match the person’s goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and looks for small, doable changes. In remote sessions this often means setting short practice tasks between meetings and reviewing results together. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be guided in-session and practiced afterward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change.

The practical benefits of online work include making it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need specific session types or a particular setup, confirm current options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online meetings can support ongoing work on stress, relationships, mood, and daily coping without promising any particular outcome.
