Mary Dellinger , LPC

Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience working with diverse populations and a wide range of mental health concerns. She practices an integrative style that blends evidence-informed methods from neuroscience with mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to address each person's unique situation.

Mary individualizes treatment plans to match clients' specific goals, needs, and life circumstances, drawing from multiple approaches rather than relying on a single method. Her work covers concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, and a variety of identity and life-transition challenges. She also addresses more focused issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and parenting difficulties.

As an LPC, Mary is licensed to provide professional counseling services and aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore, heal, and develop practical coping strategies. Her integrative perspective allows her to adapt interventions over time so therapy evolves with the client and stays aligned with their changing priorities.

Approaches and online support offered by Mary Dellinger

Mary uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience and goals at the center of work together. This approach emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their values, build self-awareness, and identify the changes they want to make.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, goal-oriented method that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated into her practice to help clients develop present-focused awareness and skills for managing emotional reactivity and stress. Techniques from mindfulness support emotional regulation, attention, and greater acceptance of difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
