About Marilyn
Marilyn DeLuera is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Florida with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns. Her style is straightforward and person-focused, aiming to help people find clearer ways of thinking and coping in everyday life.
Marilyn uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s priorities central. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now and how past events still affect present reactions. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions and pays attention to strengths that are already present.
Her work also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior. Narrative therapy helps people reframe stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding reasons to change difficult habits.
Marilyn writes plainly and prefers short, direct conversations that get to specific problems. She combines listening with concrete suggestions and collaborative planning. The focus is on manageable changes that reduce reactive anger, stress, or other symptoms and on improving communication and coping skills.
She accepts English-speaking clients and is open to international clients. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and the logistics of working across time zones.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. In practice this can help when anger is linked to feeling abandoned, misunderstood, or chronically disconnected from others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and uses active listening and reflection to clarify what matters now and what small changes feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts that trigger strong reactions and offers concrete tools to test and change those thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting them as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is tight, and lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Licensed professionals can use these practical features to keep therapy consistent with a client’s routine and responsibilities.
