Marylou Biasotto

Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Delaware who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and depression. She supports clients dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer, aging issues, and end-of-life concerns.

She brings 28 years of experience across private practice, community mental health, corrections, and international social work. That background informs a practical style that mixes skill-building and straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on clear tools you can use between meetings and on small, steady steps toward change.

Her approach blends acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Expect a mix of calming attention to present experience and work on the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

Marylou tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She uses messaging only as an adjunct between sessions rather than as the main therapy method. She works in English and handles clients within Delaware; international clients are not accepted.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled according to availability. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical steps toward feeling better.

How specific therapies are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing new skills to change mood and reactions. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people use techniques such as mindfulness practices and behavioral homework in their everyday setting, which can speed learning and make new habits more realistic.
