About Mandy
Mandy Dalrymple is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who brings 25 years of experience in social work to her counseling practice. She focuses on building a strong connection early on and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Mandy aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and codependency issues.
Mandy helps people set clear, manageable goals and practices straightforward skills they can use between sessions. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental.
Her background includes work in foster care, adoption services, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, detox and rehab settings, and private counseling. That range of experience shapes a pragmatic approach to common struggles such as grief, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, and chronic illness.
Mandy has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality concerns, PTSD, and substance use, and she often helps with practical issues like sleep, anger, and workplace stress. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and identity topics within her practice.
Outside of work she spends time with her teenage sons and their pug, enjoys photography and reading, and values simple family moments. Mandy invites people to reach out so they can explore realistic steps toward the changes they want.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, codependency concerns, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person feel heard so they can find their own answers; it supports relationship, identity, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to change thought and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mandy will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
The practical value of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into a busy week and reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, practice skills between sessions, or meet when relocating across regions. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know the exact ways sessions can be arranged. Many people find online sessions helpful for maintaining consistent progress while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
