Maryleigh King

Maryleigh King is a licensed social worker who works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, anger, and life transitions. She is Maryleigh King, LMSW, and she offers steady, compassionate support for people trying to regain balance. Her style is direct and warm, focused on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addictions by focusing on what matters to each person. Maryleigh also supports those coping with career shifts, parenting stress, communication problems, and the long work of mourning or hospice-related concerns. Anger and intimacy-related issues are part of her practice as well.

Her approach blends several methods to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she helps people notice patterns, build new responses, and reconnect with values. Maryleigh uses the Gottman Method and client-centered listening when relationships are central to the work.

With six years of clinical experience, she draws on practical tools and thoughtful reflection. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, reduce overload, and create manageable steps toward change. She describes herself as present, engaged, and compassionate while keeping the work grounded and doable.

Maryleigh is based in Michigan and works in English. She welcomes people who want coaching-style support or traditional therapy to address grief, codependency, shame, and life purpose questions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit long-term goals rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional connection in relationships and helps people name feelings and ask for what they need.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Maryleigh will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving. Online sessions can let a person practice new communication skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into therapy conversations.
