Marjorie Ann Robinson, LICSW - Therapist in Alabama

About Marjorie

Marjorie Ann Robinson is a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama who helps people handling stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She writes plainly and works with issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Her approach emphasizes kindness and practical steps rather than judgment.

She uses short, focused conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions often include goal setting, simple exercises to try between meetings, and practice in real-life situations.

Background and approach

Marjorie blends evidence-based methods with a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included. Her experience covers trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and addictive behaviors. She also addresses body image, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and seasonal mood changes.

These topics are met with straightforward strategies and pacing set by the client. Marjorie draws from several therapeutic models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts tools from these approaches to match each person’s goals and learning style.

Sessions may involve teaching coping skills, practicing new ways of communicating, and exploring personal values or life purpose. The work is practical and paced to the individual’s needs. Her aim is to help people build steady routines and clearer choices that make daily life easier.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose by teaching skills for staying present and moving toward meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD-patterns, and mood changes like seasonal affective disorder.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marjorie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors methods and pacing so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide short, focused check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while using the approaches above in everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
