About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Maryleigh earned a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and holds an MI Licensed Master Social Worker credential. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and works with adults seeking clearer direction, emotional relief, or better ways to cope with daily pressures.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses straightforward methods to build skills and insight. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment practices to help people live in line with their values, even when feelings are hard.
For relationship concerns she incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and techniques from the Gottman Method to improve connection and communication. Her style is present and engaged; she aims to create a space where people can try new ways of relating and repair what’s been strained.
People working with Maryleigh can expect practical tools, guided reflection, and coaching around goals like healthier boundaries, improved communication, or better stress management. Her work also covers topics such as codependency, midlife questions, life purpose, grief, trauma, and women's issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Maryleigh practices from Michigan and supports clients as they take steps toward more manageable days and clearer priorities.
Therapeutic tools and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build skills for everyday problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people who want to strengthen emotional connection and improve communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryleigh will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to try ACT practices, CBT techniques, EFT-style work on connection, or a blend of approaches over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow fuller conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between sessions or use shorter exchanges for brief coaching and coping check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats as needs change.
