Background and approach
That can mean learning coping tools, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or sorting priorities during a major transition. Therapy draws on several approaches. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for intense emotion and better self-regulation. Marilyn also uses mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and Motivational Interviewing to support changes like recovery from addictive behaviors.
Those methods are used in simple, step-by-step ways so they fit into busy lives. Her sessions are aimed at practical progress rather than labels or tests. People often leave with a short plan they can try before the next meeting.
The approach is collaborative - the person and Marilyn set goals together and track what helps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marilyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical skills to shift thinking and behavior. She also works with Dialectical Behavior Therapy for strong emotions and stress regulation, offering skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.Many sessions also draw on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely to what the person wants and adapting the work to those goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
