About Marilyn
Marilyn centers the person in the room and begins where the client is. She listens to life stories and helps uncover strengths and options that may feel hidden. Sessions often include talking through painful memories, sorting current problems, and practicing concrete ways to cope with anger and strong emotions.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses these methods to help people examine patterns, change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and build more stable relationships with themselves and others.
Marilyn brings 14 years of professional experience in social work across many settings. She also describes a lifetime of personal roles that inform her perspective as a therapist and listener. Clients can expect a practical, compassionate style aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions take into account life realities and focus on workable steps. Marilyn practices in Florida and communicates in English. International clients are accepted, and she supports people through transitions, caregiving stress, codependency, and a wide range of emotional concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to help someone notice repeating relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. In a client-centered conversation the therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps them find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to reduce anger and mood symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then tailor sessions to fit those needs. That conversation often begins in early appointments and can change over time as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-informed approaches to help with anger, grief, relationship patterns, and daily coping in ways that fit each person’s schedule.
