About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns, among other issues. Mary lists social anxiety and phobia among the areas she addresses. She uses several therapeutic approaches to help people manage symptoms and everyday challenges.
Mary draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior that can keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with moment-to-moment coping and reducing stress. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at how past experiences influence current patterns.
Sessions are designed to match a person's goals and pace. Mary combines elements from different approaches rather than following a single formula. This can include short-term strategies like behavior changes alongside longer conversations about underlying patterns.
She has worked across a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Additional focus areas listed include attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Mary communicates in English and practices in South Carolina. Her credential is LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site's online matching and scheduling process to select and book an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mary commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, listening and adjusting the session to those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also a core approach, involving practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and mood problems.She also brings in mindfulness techniques to teach attention and breathing practices that can reduce moment-to-moment stress. These approaches can help with social anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and day-to-day coping by offering concrete skills and reflective work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to suit the online setting so tools learned in sessions can be used in daily life.
