Dr. Mary Del Vecchio, LPC

Dr. Mary Del Vecchio helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, caregiving strain, and aging and geriatric issues. She brings a calm, respectful presence to each session and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Mary is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with licenses in Minnesota and Wisconsin and 30 years of counseling experience. She also holds a master’s degree in theology and a Pastoral Ministry Certificate, and she has national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Her background includes work with chronic illness, workplace stress, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse.

Her style is caring and interactive. Sessions are client-centered and often focus on solutions and skills. She uses a mind-body-spirit perspective and includes Christian counseling when clients request that approach.

Dr. Del Vecchio draws on several methods to meet people where they are. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, motivational interviewing to clarify goals, and EMDR and other trauma-focused techniques when trauma work is needed.

People can expect a collaborative process in which goals are set together and progress is reviewed. Mary aims to empower people with tools for better sleep, clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and coping with life changes. She welcomes conversations about what will be most helpful.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they do

Dr. Del Vecchio commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people set the pace and focus. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of life transitions or explore relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when trauma memories are causing ongoing distress and when a trauma-focused process is appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on the client's needs and preferences. That helps ensure therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Licensed professionals guide the process and help pick techniques that translate well to remote sessions.
