Marylene Goode

Marylene Goode is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Arizona. She brings 17 years of experience and a background that includes work as a military psychologist and service in the U.S. Army. Marylene speaks English and French and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and everyday stressors.

She helps people who are dealing with anger, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship problems. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, fertility concerns, and immigration-related stress. Her approach focuses on building practical coping skills and improving daily functioning.

Marylene draws on experience with veteran reintegration, diversity and multicultural challenges, and women’s health issues when relevant. She offers assessments for post-traumatic stress disorder and attention concerns as part of understanding a client’s needs. Her background in health psychology informs work with clients living with long-term medical conditions.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals and skill-building. She helps people name patterns, try new behaviors, and practice coping strategies between sessions. The tone is direct and collaborative, aimed at tangible change rather than long abstract discussion.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription model for payments that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Marylene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building concrete skills and understanding patterns. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavior change to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety; it helps people learn calming strategies and new ways to respond in heated moments. Another common strand centers on trauma-informed work that helps people stabilize, process distressing memories at a manageable pace, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Marylene works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques so they fit the client’s needs. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans over time rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep sessions consistent when schedules change. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that is more practical, or longer sessions when more time is needed to work through difficult material.
