About Mandy
Mandy Dalrymple is a licensed clinical social worker with a long career in social work and counseling. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Social Work and brings 25 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Mandy focuses on building a strong working relationship first. She listens actively and offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence.
Her background includes work in foster care, child protective services, adoption, hospice, community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and detox settings, and outpatient counseling. That variety gives her experience with grief, substance use, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and complex family issues. She also helps people facing parenting strain, career changes, and financial concerns.
Mandy uses practical, goal-oriented approaches in sessions. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Dialectical behavior strategies are also part of her toolbox when emotions feel intense.
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, realistic steps. Mandy helps people clarify what matters, set achievable goals, and practice tools between meetings. She also brings coaching skills when clients want support planning next steps in work or life.
Outside work she is a parent and enjoys reading, photography, and time by the water. Her Michigan roots show in a down-to-earth style aimed at helping people feel heard and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and building small actions that match those values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods that fit the concern - whether that means skills practice, values-based action, or changing thought patterns - and adjust as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session options before booking. This will make it clear which formats are offered for scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be used around school, work, or caregiving duties.
