About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems that often show up at home, such as stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.
Mary uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are part of her toolkit as well.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Mary helps people talk through what is happening in daily life and tries to identify clear next steps. She will work with you on coping skills, communication patterns, sleep struggles, and ways to manage mood swings or addictive behaviors.
Her background includes a decade working with adults facing grief, trauma, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and issues related to attachment and abandonment. She has experience across a wide range of presentations, including neurodiversity, chronic illness, and mood disorders.
People who come to her can expect a steady, straightforward approach. Goals are set together and progress is reviewed as therapy continues. To begin, the typical first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mary commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work means conversations focused on the client's perspective and priorities, which helps sort day-to-day problems and set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and coping with parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to help keep therapy practical and accessible while focusing on everyday issues at home.
