How Marjorie works
She says she does not come in as a fixer, but as a collaborator who offers suggestions and skills. Sessions aim to clear the things that keep someone stuck and help them move toward being more authentic. Her approach draws from several methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences affect present life.
Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, practical steps that lead to clear progress. Marjorie has worked in different clinical settings and with diverse communities over the years. She frames therapy as a team effort and tailors methods to each person’s needs and goals.
The tone in sessions tends to be direct, empathetic, and aimed at usable change. Outside of work she lives in Southern California with her partner and a lively household of pets. She emphasizes timely action, encouraging people to start when life feels urgent rather than waiting.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Marjorie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and then try practical changes to feel better. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.She treats picking the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client will look at the issues, goals, and personal preferences and try methods that fit. If something isn’t working they adjust the plan and try another way until it feels useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain momentum across weeks.
