About Mary
Dr. Mary Del Vecchio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Minnesota with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and changes in life circumstances. Her background also includes work around parenting, grief, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
Mary practices in a client-centered way that focuses on practical steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. She also integrates mindfulness practices and EMDR for those who have distressing memories that continue to affect daily life.
Her training includes a master's in theology, a Pastoral Ministry Certificate, and a national credential as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Mary also mentions experience with a variety of health and life challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and aging concerns. She offers Christian counseling as part of her approach when clients want that perspective.
In sessions she aims to be interactive and goal-oriented. Conversations typically focus on what is happening now, patterns that began in earlier family life, and concrete skills to manage symptoms and relationships. People often work on communication, setting boundaries, and coping skills for stress and grief.
Mary encourages a collaborative process where clients and she decide on next steps together. If you want to address patterns that started in your family of origin or handle life transitions with practical tools, she may be a fit.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, concrete goals. This approach can help with relationship patterns and everyday stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes because it gives practical tools to change responses and behaviors.
EMDR is a method used with people who have upsetting memories that keep affecting current life. It involves guided attention and processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional hold. When appropriate, EMDR can be combined with other strategies in sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend steps to try. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
