About Marilyn
Marilyn Priebe is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of professional experience in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Marilyn emphasizes each person's strengths and treats the client as the expert in their own story.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages small steps and practical strategies that fit day-to-day life. Sessions are aimed at making problems more manageable rather than overwhelming clients with theory.
How Marilyn works
Marilyn has worked across a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and panic attacks. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. Additional focus areas include codependency, control issues, family of origin patterns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shaped by decades of practice. She listens for what matters most and helps people build on strengths to reach clear goals. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Marilyn works with adults who want to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She communicates in plain language and aims to make therapy feel useful from the first sessions.

Evidence-based techniques for online support
Marilyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear, practical steps. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression; it helps people learn coping skills they can use between sessions. Another approach centers on building on existing strengths and life resources to cope with grief, role changes, and relationship strain; it helps people regain a sense of control and purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to get regular support. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is preferred without video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent check-ins or notes between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different daily routines.
