About Marlene

Marlene Dmytryshyn uses practical, evidence-based therapy to help people navigate family and relationship challenges. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience and works from New York. Marlene focuses on making the first steps easier for people facing grief, intimacy issues, and big life transitions.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths to address what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Clients can expect clear, straightforward conversations about what is causing pain and what might help. Sessions focus on manageable changes and real-life coping strategies. Marlene draws on many years of practice to offer steady support through complex family problems and relationship strains.

She also addresses practical stresses such as caregiver burden, chronic illness, and challenges that come with divorce or separation. Topics like abandonment, infidelity, and isolation are handled with direct attention to how they affect daily life and relationships. Marlene pays careful attention to how grief and end-of-life concerns change family dynamics.

Therapy explores feelings like guilt, shame, and anger while looking for small steps toward relief. Marlene listens for the strengths that people already use and helps expand them into new ways of coping. Her style is rooted in experience and focused on clear, useful change.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through a range of online formats. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Marlene draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in their relationships and try new ways of communicating. This method helps with intimacy problems, infidelity, and ongoing family conflict.

Another frequently used approach emphasizes grief work and coping skills. It supports people facing losses, chronic illness, or end-of-life concerns by creating space to name feelings and practice manageable coping strategies. These techniques are straightforward and aimed at easing day-to-day distress.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone when a live conversation is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on relationship and family issues into a routine, while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
