About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King greets people with a calm, straightforward approach and a focus on practical help. She is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with six years of clinical experience. Maryleigh aims to make therapy feel like a steady, supportive conversation rather than a lecture.
She writes clearly, listens closely, and helps people take small, workable steps toward change. Maryleigh helps people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and shifts in life or career.
How Maryleigh works
Her additional focuses include codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and women’s issues. Clients may come for help with self-esteem, parenting dilemmas, anger, or finding renewed purpose. Her style blends several approaches so sessions match what each person needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method are drawn on for relationship work and improving connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work guide people toward clearer values and compassionate self-talk.
In a session Maryleigh listens first, then sets clear, practical goals together. She offers exercises, communication tools, and ways to manage strong emotions. Progress is tracked in everyday terms so people can see what changes feel different.
Maryleigh works with people online and by phone in English and accepts international clients. She practices from Michigan and holds a Master of Social Work degree. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday solutions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Maryleigh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when the focus is on repairing connection and improving emotional communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and practice accepting difficult feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryleigh collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She tries different techniques as needed and checks in to see what helps most, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online work includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video can be used for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter exchanges, and messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and use the format that feels most practical for them.
