About Marlea
Marlea Mazyck is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday struggles like grief, depression, and addiction. Marlea encourages clients to use their own strengths to make meaningful change.
She presents a calm, supportive presence for people taking first steps toward a different life. Marlea uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first and helps clients clarify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
From there she works on skills for managing difficult thoughts, building habits that support goals, and finding forward motion after loss. Sessions center on small, doable steps rather than overwhelming plans. Her approach draws from several evidence-based styles, including acceptance-focused work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and a client-centered stance that values each person's story.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Narrative methods are used to reframe painful experiences and reduce their hold on daily life. Marlea has five years of professional experience and holds both LCSW and LISW credentials.
She practices in South Carolina and brings attention to issues like caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, seasonal mood changes, and concerns that affect women and aging adults. Multicultural concerns and attachment issues are also part of her focus. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Marlea supports people who want practical tools and steady support while they work through life transitions and emotional struggles.
How Marlea’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or shame keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change how daily life feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping after loss.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlea collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines listening with practical planning so clients can try techniques and adjust them based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging support ongoing check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
