About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She uses an integrative approach that blends client-centered listening with practical strategies. Sessions focus on real-life problems like stress, anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.
Mary works with people on mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also addresses attention differences like ADHD and struggles related to addictions or grief.
Background and approach
Concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, and relationship patterns are commonly discussed in sessions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice sensations and manage strong emotions.
Psychodynamic ideas are woven in to look at recurring patterns that began earlier in life. Mary tailors each plan to the person in front of her. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making progress on the problems that matter most. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging when appropriate. Sessions follow a client-led pace so people can move forward at a speed that feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and homework that can be reviewed in follow-up video or text conversations.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These exercises can be guided during a phone or video session and practiced between meetings to build steady habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time. This collaborative process helps shape whether CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, or a mix will be used most often.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, mood tracking, or days when typing is easier than talking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
