Background and approach

She treats clients as the experts on their lives and works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include talking through specific problems, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways to handle difficult feelings. Her background includes long experience in helping adults cope with loss, panic, phobias, postpartum depression, and the effects of trauma.

She has also supported people dealing with life transitions such as divorce, caregiving, and serious illness. Over three decades she has worked with issues related to family of origin, codependency, control, and finding life purpose. Marilyn tailors her approach to each person’s needs.

She can address end-of-life and hospice concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and the emotional impact of cancer. Her work also covers forgiveness, guilt and shame, and recovery after disasters or abuse. People who value a straightforward, strength-based approach may find her style helpful.

She affirms the courage it takes to start therapy and partners with clients as they make practical changes. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Louisiana.

Evidence-based approaches and online options

Marilyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breath work, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to face fears. These techniques help reduce intense symptoms and build confidence over time.

Another approach emphasizes processing grief and trauma in a paced way. Sessions include gentle storytelling, learning to notice triggers, and practicing new responses to painful memories. That work aims to help people feel safer with their emotions and to reclaim daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Marilyn works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow flexible scheduling and make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Remote sessions let people access licensed professionals from Louisiana without travel and keep progress moving even when life gets complicated.
