About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, approachable care. She draws on several therapy styles to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions.

She blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to build tools people can use between sessions.

Her practice covers mood disorders, ADHD, addiction-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, and parenting strains. Sleeping and rest concerns are included among the issues she addresses as part of overall wellbeing.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens for what feels most pressing and then offers straightforward strategies alongside longer-term reflection. That mix aims to give immediate relief and gradual change.

How Mary Uses Different Approaches in Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people name their priorities so the work stays grounded in real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises and simple behavior changes to ease anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with straightforward CBT tools, adding mindfulness practices, or using reflective psychodynamic questions over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing sessions from more locations. It also supports short check-ins, practicing techniques between sessions, and keeping momentum when tackling sleep and daily routine changes.
