About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She moved into counseling after a long career as an automotive mechanic and now brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Marion focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, and trauma-related concerns.
She uses a direct, down-to-earth style and adds a bit of humor to ease tense conversations. Previously Marion supported women leaving domestic violence situations and people in substance use treatment programs.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her practical understanding of trauma, survival, and recovery. She describes herself as culturally aware and nonjudgmental, and she identifies as Native American with a spiritual outlook on life. In sessions Marion centers the person in front of her and adapts tools to fit each situation.
She aims to teach two usable skills per week so people leave with concrete practices they can try between meetings. She emphasizes practice and persistence rather than quick fixes. Her approach includes client-centered listening alongside structured methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness work, and EMDR-informed interventions.
Marion frames change as a gradual process that takes courage and steady effort. People who appreciate plain talk, practical skill-building, and a counselor who draws on lived experience may find her style a good match. She offers sessions in English and works with concerns across mood, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and identity-related issues.
How Marion blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's priorities; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at current thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and break unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process distressing memories and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma reactions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Marion works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and needs, and she adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful. Sessions typically include skill teaching, brief practice, and discussion about how those skills are going between meetings.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow more flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for short check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel commitments.
