About Mary
Dr. Mary Del Vecchio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, career difficulties, ADHD, and related life changes. Sessions are presented in a direct, interactive style that aims to help people address problems and develop practical skills.
Mary holds a master’s degree in theology and a Pastoral Ministry Certificate, and she also has national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Her background blends counseling with pastoral perspectives, and she offers Christian counseling when clients request that orientation. She describes her work as client-centered and solution-focused, using conversations that encourage concrete steps forward.
Her clinical toolkit includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She also has training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy approaches used for processing distressing memories and reactions. These methods get used as needed to address symptoms and patterns tied to trauma, mood, or stress.
Mary often integrates attention to mind, body, and spirit when that fits the person’s needs. In practice she aims to combine respectful listening with active skill-building so people can try different ways of coping between sessions. She also brings experience helping people with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complex life transitions.
People who prefer a therapist with pastoral training and broad clinical experience may find her approach familiar and practical. For session options and next steps, confirm current formats before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It involves reflecting what a person says, clarifying values and goals, and helping people decide practical next steps. This approach can help with relationship concerns, parenting stress, and emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
EMDR approaches involve structured processing of distressing memories and reactions and are often used when trauma or abuse symptoms are present. Sessions that use these methods follow a step-by-step plan to work through difficult experiences and reduce their grip on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so the work connects to everyday life.
