About Mandy
Mandy Dalrymple is a licensed social worker with 25 years of experience in the social work field and extensive clinical practice as an LMSW and LICSW.
Background and approach
She trained at Michigan State University, earning a master’s degree in clinical social work, and has worked in a variety of settings including foster care, adoption services, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox/rehab care, and personal counseling. Her background supports work with issues ranging from mood disorders and addiction to relationship and family concerns.
Her approach emphasizes building strong rapport through active listening, empathy, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients feel understood before therapeutic work proceeds. Mandy blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, and mindfulness to tailor treatment to each person’s goals.
She focuses on practical coping skills, realistic goal setting, and collaboration throughout the process. Mandy sees a broad array of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma, parenting and relationship challenges, caregiver stress, and issues related to identity and intimacy.
Based in Michigan, she accepts English-speaking clients and is available for clients who live outside the United States as well.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and develop psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to create a supportive environment where clients can explore personal concerns and build self-directed solutions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist collaborates with each person to understand needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommends or blends techniques from these approaches to fit the situation. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for greater flexibility around scheduling and location. These options make it possible to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from different geographic areas.
