Clients can expect straightforward guidance and practical steps to build better self-care and boundaries. Marilyn draws on Jungian ideas to pay attention to personal meaning and inner patterns.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing habits and relationships. These approaches are used together to help people understand their feelings and make changes that matter. Her style is collaborative and candid.

She expects clients to engage actively in the work and follow through with agreed-upon tasks. That effort is part of the change process and helps people reconnect with energy and purpose. With 27 years as a licensed clinical social worker, Marilyn brings long-term experience in counseling and mindfulness education.

Online support

Approaches that inform online care

Jungian Therapy looks at patterns, symbols, and personal meaning to help people understand recurring themes in their lives and relationships. It can be useful for someone seeking deeper insight into life purpose, midlife questions, or long-standing emotional patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity. These techniques are practical for stress, anxiety, and coping with grief or caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with conversation about what the client wants and evolve from there as needs become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and do guided exercises together. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. Together these formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
