She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address daily struggles. Sessions often include mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Hypnotherapy is offered when it fits a person's goals and comfort level. Her approach is collaborative. Marylou listens first, then tailors a plan to each person's needs.
She draws on 28 years of varied experience in independent practice, community mental health, correctional settings, and international social work. Therapy can include short-term, solution-focused steps to get immediate relief as well as longer work on deeper problems like trauma or longstanding patterns. She also helps people cope with chronic illness, aging concerns, cancer, bereavement, and end-of-life stress.
Marylou emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions. She uses brief messaging as a supplement, while live sessions remain the main form of therapy. The aim is steady, manageable progress toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
Online approaches that fit real-life needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and living with ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, reduce stress, and address symptoms like insomnia when someone is comfortable trying it.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try strategies that match the person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with short-term goals and longer-term work when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for longer work and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins or quick skill practice. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy going around work, family, and life demands.
