Marlea Mazyck, LCSW, LISW - Therapist in South Carolina

About Marlea

Marlea Mazyck is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addiction. She speaks plain language and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or family member. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths.

Marlea believes small steps matter and supports clients as they try new ways of coping. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

Background and approach

These approaches help people notice unhelpful patterns, change behaviors, and reconnect with their values. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform her work when people need to find motivation or reframe difficult stories. Marlea holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in South Carolina.

She has five years of clinical experience supporting concerns across the lifespan, including compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, end-of-life issues, and attachment challenges. She also addresses multicultural concerns, women’s issues, and life transitions like midlife crises and aging-related worries. Sessions can include talking through concrete coping skills, goal-setting, and exploring personal stories to find new meaning.

Marlea emphasizes a collaborative pace so people can try changes that feel realistic for their daily life. Her style is straightforward, warm, and focused on practical progress. For those seeking help with family-related stress and parenting concerns, she brings a steady, supportive presence and tools aimed at improving daily functioning and emotional resilience.

Approaches and online support for everyday challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for people to be heard and understood, helping them build confidence and access their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions stay focused and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions provide a convenient alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and caregiving 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.
