About Mary
Dr. Mary Del Vecchio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Her work also addresses trauma, grief, addiction issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and blended family issues.
Mary brings both clinical and pastoral perspectives to sessions. She holds an additional master's degree in theology and a pastoral ministry certificate, and she has a national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Her approach centers on the client and looks for practical steps that can be used between meetings.
She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates mindfulness practices to reduce stress and EMDR-related approaches for trauma processing when appropriate. Motivational interviewing appears in her work to support change around habits and substance concerns.
Sessions tend to be interactive and skills-focused. Mary emphasizes clear communication, respect, and teamwork. She offers Christian counseling as an option for those who want faith to be part of the conversation.
For someone in a new or blended household she can help with loyalty conflicts, parenting roles, merging routines, and co-parenting stress. Her background in rehabilitation counseling and pastoral work informs a practical, values-aware style aimed at usable coping strategies.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps clarify values, priorities, and immediate concerns and supports work on relationships and parenting roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete practices such as behavior experiments and thought records that help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change habitual reactions in everyday family life.
EMDR-related methods are used for processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional charge tied to past events. In this context they are applied carefully alongside other methods when trauma or abuse is part of a person's history.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine techniques as those needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the specific session formats offered and how they might match your schedule and day-to-day routines.
