About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a DE LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger.
She draws on straightforward tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and take small practical steps. Mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy techniques are used when they fit the person and the issue.
Marylou has worked in private practice, community mental health, correctional settings, and international social work. That background gives her a range of ways to approach problems like chronic stress, low motivation, sleep difficulty, and coping with life changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable strategies rather than jargon. People can expect to talk through specific triggers, practice skills to manage anger and anxiety, and set short-term steps to test what helps between meetings.
She also supports those facing illness, caregiving and end-of-life concerns, career questions, and challenges such as codependency or isolation. Her work includes attention to sexual orientation and gender issues and related identity concerns.
Marylou uses messaging only as a supplement between sessions rather than as the main form of therapy. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that align with those values. It is useful for anger driven by frustration, avoidance, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for managing explosive reactions, chronic irritability, and anxiety that fuels anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a persons goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust the plan based on what works. The focus is on experimenting with short techniques and steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins or conversations without the need to travel, and offer ways to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings.
