How her approaches translate to online work
Marilyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed anger. DBT offers practical emotion-regulation skills and ways to handle intense feelings and difficult conversations.She also uses a client-centered way of working that keeps the clients goals and preferences central. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Marilyn will talk with each client about what feels useful and adapt tools as progress and needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in the environments where problems occur. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to work within an online schedule, and Marilyn will discuss what session length and rhythm make the most sense for each client.
