About Marilyn

She speaks English and brings 12 years of experience to each appointment. Marilyn focuses on listening first. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them.
How Marilyn works
Sessions move at the client's pace and emphasize practical steps as well as understanding feelings. She aims to help people notice patterns and try small changes that add up. Her style combines talk-based care with tools people can use between sessions.
That can include trying new ways to manage stress, practicing mindful attention, or learning skills to handle intense emotions. She also uses motivational conversation to support commitment to recovery and change. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship.
Goals are shaped together and adjusted as progress is made. Marilyn encourages clear, concrete plans so people leave sessions with something useful to try. Marilyn has worked in community and clinical settings across Ohio during her 12-year career.
She draws on that background when helping people cope with life changes, rebuild relationships, or move toward healthier routines. The work is practical, steady, and focused on the next right step.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady space to talk through problems and decide on personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or patterns that feed addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone handles conflict or stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean blending approaches, trying a skill for a few weeks, and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different places. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for regular check-ins, brief problem-solving, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using evidence-informed approaches.
