About Marilee
Many clients arrive exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Marilee helps them name the patterns that keep repeating. She uses straightforward language to explain what’s happening and why it might be hard to change.
Her sessions concentrate on building tools that work outside the therapy room. That can mean practicing simple skills for managing anxiety, setting clearer boundaries, or learning ways to respond differently in tense moments. The goal is more calm and confidence in daily life.
Marilee draws from approaches like acceptance and commitment methods, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive tools to tailor the work to each person. She takes time to understand personal history and current stressors before suggesting exercises or techniques.
People who meet with her should expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. Over time the focus shifts from just coping to feeling more grounded and more at ease in relationships and routines.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop safer ways of relating.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Work can change over time as needs shift, and the plan is adjusted together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try exercises between sessions and apply new skills in real life with support from a licensed professional.
