About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, and related concerns like depression, bipolar symptoms, and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. Mary works with people facing life changes and chronic health concerns as well.
Her approach blends several methods into a practical plan. Mary uses client-centered work to ground sessions in what matters to the person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are brought in to build present-moment awareness and tools for intense feelings like anger.
Mary incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and where they may have come from. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps people can try between meetings. She aims to help clients manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and improve communication in everyday situations.
Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, and dissociation. She also addresses practical concerns such as sleep problems, career stress, caregiver burnout, and body image worries. Mary adapts the mix of approaches to each person’s needs and goals.
People who want straightforward skills, alongside space to understand deeper patterns, will find this combination practical. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mary uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on what the person says matters most, encouraging straightforward talk about anger, stress, and daily struggles. That approach helps prioritize goals and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear tools for spotting thought and behavior patterns that feed anger and frustration, and for trying small behavior changes between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice rising tension and respond differently to strong emotions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work with Mary. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a work break. Some formats may be better for brief skill practice while others suit longer conversations; Mary will discuss what works best when arranging sessions.
