About Mary

Mary Dellinger is an LPC with a decade of clinical experience who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other well-established modalities to help clients address a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

She blends practical skills training with reflective exploration so clients can build clearer thinking patterns, manage distressing emotions, and develop coping strategies for everyday challenges. Mary emphasizes individualized care and adapts methods to fit each person’s goals and circumstances.

Her work spans common issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and grief, as well as relationship and intimacy-related struggles, addiction, parenting difficulties, sleep problems, and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and complex presentations involving co-morbidity or dissociation.

Located in South Carolina, she uses an integrative stance that mixes mindfulness, psychodynamic perspectives, and client-centered principles to support growth and problem solving.

Integrative Approaches Delivered Online



Mary commonly incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can help with stress regulation, chronic pain, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and life context, and adjusts methods over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for the person’s needs.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations within South Carolina, and continue work between appointments through messaging when appropriate.
