Mary Dellinger, LPC

Mary Dellinger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She uses conversations and evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse concerns. Her tone is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to help clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Mary draws from several approaches rather than one single method. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices, and she also considers psychodynamic themes when helpful. That mix lets her tailor sessions to the needs and goals people bring to therapy.

In sessions she looks for simple, usable steps that fit day-to-day life. That can mean breaking problems into smaller parts, trying different coping strategies, noticing thought patterns, or practicing grounding and attention exercises. She also spends time listening to the story behind symptoms to understand long-standing patterns.

Her practice includes a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, and self-esteem issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image, chronic illness, and dissociation.

Mary has ten years of experience working with diverse people in South Carolina. Her LPC credential indicates her clinical license as a professional counselor. Prospective clients who want to begin can use the site tools to match and schedule a first session.

How Mary’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space so people can find their own solutions. It helps with stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and improve emotion regulation. It pairs well with CBT when managing stress, trauma-related symptoms, or ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize coping skills, reflective exploration, or both.

Confirm session delivery options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Different methods translate well to remote work - for example, CBT homework and mindfulness exercises can be practiced between meetings to support progress.
