About Mary
Mary Dellinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, focusing on what a person needs right now.
Mary brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions. She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand deeper life patterns when that is useful.
People come for help with many issues, including codependency, grief, addictions, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, chronic health challenges, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues as well as communication and control struggles.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals. That might mean learning concrete coping skills, practicing new ways to think about stressful situations, or looking at how past experiences affect present behavior. Mary aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where people can try things out and make steady progress.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people build daily habits that fit their life while also addressing deeper patterns that keep them stuck. If someone wants a mix of skills training and deeper reflection, Mary blends methods to match their needs.
