About Mary
Dr. Mary Del Vecchio welcomes people who are worn out by sleep disruption, stress, or life change. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to teach skills people can use right away.
Mary Del Vecchio is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with LPC credentials in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She brings three decades of counseling experience to sessions. She also completed a master's degree in theology and a pastoral ministry certificate, and holds a national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Her background includes work with chronic illness, workplace stress, and emotional abuse.
In sessions she uses a client-centered style that keeps the person's goals in view. She combines that with solution-focused work and tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means clients can expect practical strategies for sleep, mood, and daily routines alongside conversations about meaning and values.
She also incorporates methods aimed at processing trauma when needed, and offers Christian counseling for people who want therapy that includes spiritual concerns. Her overall stance is collaborative - she works together with each person to build steps forward rather than prescribing one fixed path.
People often come for help with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, or attention concerns. She emphasizes respect, kindness, and skill-building so clients leave with clear things to try between sessions.
How certain approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client's goals lead the work; online sessions use that same collaborative stance to identify what's most important and practical for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches targeted skills to change sleep patterns, reduce anxiety, or shift unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories in a structured way and can be discussed with the therapist as an option for trauma-related concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk through your situation, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That plan can change over time as needs shift, with the therapist checking in regularly about progress and comfort.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is hectic. It can allow shorter check-ins on tough days or full session times when deeper work is needed. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not listed here, and expect the therapist to help choose a rhythm and approach that suit your daily life.
