About Mary
Dr. Mary Del Vecchio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and life changes. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her background includes a master’s degree in theology, a Pastoral Ministry Certificate, and national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. She uses a client-centered style that combines solution-focused work with attention to mind-body-spirit connections. She also offers Christian counseling for those who prefer that perspective.
In sessions she listens for concrete patterns that keep problems going. She helps people set small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive methods are used alongside mindfulness practices to manage worry and improve sleep and focus.
For people with a history of traumatic events she can use EMDR-related techniques and approaches suited to trauma processing. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes, such as reducing substance use or improving healthy routines.
Her approach aims to be interactive rather than lecture-based. Clients can expect direct feedback, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations. The emphasis is on workable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Dr. Del Vecchio uses client-centered work to focus sessions on each person’s concerns and goals. This approach means conversations are guided by what the client brings, with the counselor offering questions, reflections, and practical suggestions to help clarify next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice alternative behaviors. CBT exercises often include short between-session tasks for managing worry, sleep, or panic-related responses. For people who have experienced traumatic events, she incorporates EMDR-related methods that aim to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and support gradual processing.
Finding the best approach is part of the work, and she treats selection as collaborative. She will talk through options, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals, comfort, and progress.
