Mary Dellinger, LPC

Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard moments and work toward clearer goals. Her tone in sessions is practical and down-to-earth, with attention to each person’s pace and needs.

Mary combines several methods to tailor care to individuals. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness strategies are offered to help people manage intense feelings and improve sleep. She also integrates psychodynamic perspectives to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Over a decade in practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns. These include ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also works with issues like body image, codependency, and chronic health-related stress.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear steps to try between meetings, plus space to reflect on what is working. Mary adapts techniques to fit each person, and she helps people track progress in ways that feel useful.

Mary practices in South Carolina and speaks English. She offers an individualized approach that balances practical tools with attention to underlying life patterns.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Mary commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That conversation guides whether to emphasize practical CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or deeper psychodynamic reflection, and it is done as a collaboration between therapist and client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between commitments. It also lets people try different session styles and rhythms until they find what works. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
