She brings 12 years of experience and a calm, steady presence to each session. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.
She focuses on what is most pressing for each person, whether that is managing overwhelming worry, improving relationships, or finding healthier patterns after substance use.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, doable changes rather than vague promises. Marilyn listens first and then offers tools that match a person's situation and priorities. Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are used when people need help managing intense emotions and staying present. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and keep going. People can expect a collaborative approach that respects their background and choices.
Marilyn frames progress as gradual and practical, with attention to setbacks as part of the process. She aims to help clients build routines and habits that support everyday functioning. Therapy sessions are available in several online formats, and Marilyn will work with each person to find the best way to meet their needs.
She combines experience with a patient, goal-oriented focus to help people move forward.
How evidence-based methods translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal effectiveness, useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Marilyn will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The emphasis is on collaboration - clients help steer which techniques feel most helpful and when to try alternatives.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat for shorter exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and support steady progress without long travel times.
