About Mary

Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in South Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. She works on stress, anxiety, anger, self esteem, life changes, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, sleep problems, parenting, career matters, bipolar disorder, and depression. She uses an integrative approach and draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to guide her work.

Mary tailors sessions to what each person brings. She combines techniques from neuroscience, mindfulness, CBT, and psychodynamic ideas to match a client's goals. Sessions focus on practical skills such as managing strong emotions, improving sleep routines, and handling life transitions. She also addresses long-running patterns like attachment or abandonment concerns and communication or control issues.

Her work includes attention to co-occurring problems such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and body image struggles. She supports people dealing with grief, separation or divorce, and intimacy-related worries. Mary also helps clients who identify as autistic or who have symptoms related to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Over the past decade she has worked across a range of presentations, using short-term strategies alongside deeper exploration of history and relational patterns. Clients can expect a mix of skill building and reflection aimed at clearer coping and decision making. She explains approaches in everyday language and centers the client's goals during treatment.

Mary conducts sessions in English and practices in South Carolina. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to schedule an initial meeting.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's goals. It involves open conversation that helps people identify what matters and decide next steps. This approach is useful for stress, self esteem, and decisions about relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses clear exercises and coping strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy adds attention and grounding practices to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary discusses options with each person and helps choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works collaboratively to try strategies and adjust the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also support ongoing practice of CBT skills and mindfulness exercises between sessions.
