Mandy Dalrymple, LMSW, LICSW

Mandy Dalrymple is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years in social work and long experience counseling adults, adolescents, and couples. She focuses on building rapport first and listens in a calm, nonjudgmental way. Mandy aims to help people manage common problems like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and parenting strain.

She draws on many tools to match the person in front of her. Sessions often emphasize simple skills for coping, improving communication, and setting reachable goals. Mandy works with people facing mood disorders, ADHD, substance issues, trauma, grief, and life transitions, and she also supports those dealing with caregiver stress and aging and geriatric issues.

Mandy trained at Michigan State University where she earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her background includes foster care and adoption work, hospice care, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox settings, and private agency practice. That range has shaped a down-to-earth style that is practical and experience-informed.

In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. She likes to set realistic, achievable goals and helps people try small changes that add up.

Outside of work Mandy spends time with her teenage boys and a pug named Lucy. She enjoys writing, photography, reading, and listening to music, and brings a warm, approachable presence to her practice.

How Mandy’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She collaborates to pick methods that fit the person's life and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow a check-in during a break at work or between appointments. For some people, sessions that do not require video can be a simpler way to connect when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you match and book.
