About Marjorie

Marjorie Stewart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of clinical and coaching experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about relationships and parenting. Her approach is straightforward and practical.

She offers a calm, relaxed atmosphere where clients can talk things through and learn new skills. Over her career she has worked with individuals, couples, and families in many settings.

Background and approach

Marjorie helps parents who want clearer communication with their children and partners who are trying to rebuild connection. She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiving stress, medical-related challenges, or difficulties linked to adoption and attachment. Her sessions tend to be direct and honest while remaining warm and respectful.

She listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals. Skill-building can include communication techniques, coping tools for anxiety, and strategies to strengthen self-esteem and boundaries. Marjorie draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs.

In conversation she will explain why a technique might help and how it fits the client’s daily life. The work aims to produce usable steps that clients can practice between sessions. People who connect with her style often want a practical partner in change.

She aims to make therapy feel like teamwork and to give clients tools they can use right away.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for handling anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what really matters in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns by giving clear steps to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional bonds in close relationships and helps partners and family members understand and change interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marjorie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit their situation. She treats the choice as a team decision and adjusts methods as progress is observed.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging give ways to check in between meetings. These options offer flexibility for parents, working adults, and caregivers who need practical access to support while managing daily responsibilities.

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.
