About Mandy

Mandy Dalrymple is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in social work and extensive clinical practice.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad career that includes foster care and adoption services, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox settings, and outpatient counseling. Mandy earned both her bachelor's and master’s degrees in the field and has developed a practical, strengths-focused way of working with adults facing mood, anxiety, relationship, and life-transition challenges.

Her approach centers on building rapport and listening actively with empathy and without judgment, creating a collaborative space where clients can explore goals and develop coping strategies.

Mandy integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness alongside client-centered techniques to address concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and addictions. She emphasizes realistic, achievable goals and offers practical skills to manage stress, improve communication, and navigate major life changes.

Based in Michigan, Mandy accepts international clients and provides flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs. Outside of practice she enjoys family time, photography, reading, and music, bringing a grounded, human perspective to her clinical work.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people build a meaningful life aligned with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with mood disorders, anxiety, insomnia, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when intense emotions or relationship difficulties are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mandy works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, combining elements from these models to tailor a plan rather than relying on one fixed method.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and varied ways to engage in skill-building, reflection, and ongoing support with licensed professionals.
