About Mandy
Mandy Dalrymple is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years in the social work field and long experience counseling adults. She begins by building a straightforward rapport and listening with empathy. That calm, practical approach helps people feel safe to talk about what’s most pressing in their lives.
Mandy supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction concerns. She also helps with parenting struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She draws on a broad background working in foster care, adoption, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox settings, and personal agencies. Her sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Mandy uses talking, reflective listening, and practical skills to help people handle day-to-day struggles.
She works to set realistic, achievable steps rather than vague promises, and adapts tools to each person’s life and routines. Mandy uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. These methods are applied in simple, actionable ways that clients can practice between sessions.
She offers therapy in English from Michigan and accepts international clients. Mandy also supports people facing job or caregiver stress, ADHD, communication challenges, and blended-family concerns. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping clients make steady progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges because it emphasizes small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for depression, sleeping problems, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will suggest methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, work around caregiving, or keep sessions short when needed.
