About Mary

Mary Dellinger is an LPC with a decade of clinical experience who blends well-established therapeutic models to support people facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD.

Background and approach

She uses a flexible, integrative style that draws on client-centered principles and evidence-based techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief and trauma, self-esteem and life transitions.

In practice she weaves together elements of cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness skills, and psychodynamic ideas to help clients build insight, develop coping tools, and make practical changes. Sessions are designed around clear goals and collaborative planning so treatment fits personal values and circumstances.

Mary emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can explore difficult feelings, unresolved patterns, and practical obstacles to functioning. Based in South Carolina, she brings a measured, compassionate stance to therapeutic work and accepts English-speaking clients through subscription-based sessions offered in multiple online formats.

Her approach is intended to help clients increase self-understanding, reduce distress, and strengthen skills for daily life.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Mary uses client-centered therapy to ground work in the client's own priorities, creating a collaborative space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also central to her approach and focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, offering practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Both approaches can be particularly useful for concerns such as anxiety, mood issues, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Mary emphasizes collaboration when determining what will work best. She reviews goals, preferences, and progress with each client and adjusts techniques as needs evolve so treatment remains responsive and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
