About Mary

Dr. Mary Ann Dier-Zimmermann is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 35 years of clinical experience. She approaches healing as a personal journey toward greater wholeness, peace, and well-being, and she combines clinical training with specialized study in religion, spirituality, and psychology to support whole-person change.

She offers attentive, compassionate care and strives to listen closely to each person’s concerns, honoring integrity, beliefs, and gender orientation as vital parts of the therapeutic process. Her work addresses depression, grief, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ matters, and questions of faith or spirituality, while also attending to how relationships with family and other supports influence healing.

Dr. Dier-Zimmermann begins with an assessment and collaborates with clients to create a clear plan for growth. She helps clients expand self-awareness, strengthen support systems, and explore practical steps toward improved emotional and relational functioning. She meets people where they are, without judgment, and integrates clinical methods with spiritual resources when appropriate to promote meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for relational growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to values-based actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relational patterns shape emotions and behavior, and it supports healing in intimate and family relationships by strengthening emotional connection and safety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace of change while the therapist reflects understanding and respect.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dr. Dier-Zimmermann and the person seeking help will collaborate to identify which methods best match the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making it possible to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across different schedules and life demands, making it easier for people to access regular support, strengthen relationships, and practice new skills between sessions.
