About Marilee
Many who come to her are exhausted from staying "on" and second-guessing themselves. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship tensions, past hurt, or trouble setting boundaries. Marilee listens without judgment and helps people name what is happening so they can start to change it.
Her work focuses on clear, practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new ways to respond, and building habits that reduce stress. The goal is to help clients feel steadier, more confident, and more comfortable in their relationships.
Marilee uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These methods guide how she helps clients understand patterns and try new behaviors.
With five years of experience, Marilee aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can be themselves. She focuses on real-life changes that reduce anxiety, improve connections, and help people move forward after hard experiences.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that feed distress and practicing new, more helpful responses to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating to reduce anxiety in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That way sessions focus on what matters most for the individual's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let clients choose sessions that match their comfort level, such as shorter check-ins when time is tight or video meetings when seeing facial cues matters most. Discussing format during the initial steps helps align practical needs with therapeutic goals.
