About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Delaware who helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, sleep, self-esteem, career strain, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Marylou draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to offer steady, practical care.
Her approach uses clear, direct methods. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness practices.
How Marylou works
Hypnotherapy is used when it fits a person’s goals, and solution-focused work helps people make fast, concrete changes. Sessions focus on real-life problems and skills that can be used between meetings. She tailors conversation and techniques to each person’s needs and goals.
The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that add up over time. Marylou has practiced in personal settings, community mental health, correctional environments, and international social work. That range informs her flexible way of working and her comfort with diverse life experiences.
She has 28 years of professional experience as an LCSW. Practical matters are part of the process. Messaging is used as an adjunct between sessions, not as the main form of therapy.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Marylou often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values, even when strong emotions are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.She may also incorporate hypnotherapy for people who find guided relaxation and focused suggestion helpful for issues like sleep, anxiety, or pain. Those techniques are added when they fit a person's goals and comfort level, not used on everyone.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose strategies to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and more extended conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or homework follow-up between full sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
