She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing in Illinois and brings five years of experience to her work. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at making the first steps feel easier for people who are unsure where to begin.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s real concerns.
Background and approach
Marjorie draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice what they are feeling. Sessions are tailored to each person.
Marjorie listens first, then suggests small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to body image, communication problems, blended family challenges, and issues common to young adults and women. She can support people dealing with postpartum depression, isolation, guilt and shame, and the fallout from domestic violence.
Marjorie also assists those working on forgiveness, rebuilding self-love, and improving relationships at home. Her approach combines short-term solutions with deeper emotional work when needed. Conversations are collaborative and honest, with an emphasis on useful skills and realistic goals.
To begin, people can select a plan, complete a brief questionnaire, and schedule a session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist helps clients set the agenda and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple exercises to change patterns; it works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress and adapts easily to video or phone work.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as they go.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when travel is hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings and share thoughts when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to use therapeutic tools consistently and to keep progress moving forward.
