She focuses on everyday struggles like feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and find practical steps to live differently.

Marilyn uses a down-to-earth, person-centered style. Sessions start where the person is and build from real concerns and strengths. She listens for patterns from early relationships and current life that shape how people respond to stress and connection.

Background and approach

Her methods draw on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative work. That means she pays attention to how past bonds affect present feelings, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and invites people to reframe their life stories. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when clients feel stuck.

With 14 years of professional experience, Marilyn blends life experience with clinical practice. She describes therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals lead the way. Conversations are practical and focused on small, achievable shifts that add up over time.

Marilyn practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. She supports a wide range of concerns including ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency, mood disorders, and issues around abandonment and aging. Her style is calm, patient, and straightforward.

If someone wants to explore new possibilities, she offers steady, practical support to help them get there.

Online support

How therapy approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and behaviors, and helps people notice patterns in relationships that may cause pain or distance. It can be useful for those struggling with trust, abandonment feelings, or attachment issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals, emphasizing empathy and listening so people feel understood and can explore their needs at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to shift mood and functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Together you decide whether attachment work, CBT, or a combination of approaches best fits your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when you need a quicker way to touch base between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
