About Marjorie
Marjorie Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She supports those facing life changes and works to build confidence and motivation in everyday life. Marjorie keeps sessions respectful and direct.
She listens first, then tailors conversations and steps to each person's situation. She focuses on small practical changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques.
How Marjorie works
Those methods help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused ideas to help people sort through relationships and find workable next steps. Mindfulness practices are offered for calming stress and building attention to the present moment.
With five years of experience, Marjorie aims for a warm, down-to-earth style. She explains options plainly and works with each person to choose what fits their goals. Many clients leave sessions with a short plan to try between visits.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Marjorie frames that decision as a brave first move. She asks questions, listens without judgment, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting question-and-answer space where the person leads the conversation. It helps people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental place to talk through their feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can ease anxiety and improve self-esteem.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and decision making. It can be useful for sorting communication problems and healing from relational hurts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what works. Clients help choose which methods fit their preferences and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to an in-person session and are good for in-depth work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
