Maryleigh King, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Maryleigh

Maryleigh King is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing change, loss, and relationship challenges. She works with adults who want clearer boundaries, stronger communication, and healthier coping habits. Her manner is warm and present, and she emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional support.

Maryleigh uses straightforward conversations to sort out what feels stuck. She listens first, then helps clients try small, useful experiments between sessions. Those experiments often focus on actions that match a person’s values and goals.

Background and approach

Her background includes a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and six years of clinical practice. Maryleigh holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - in Michigan. She brings that training into sessions without jargon, using plain language and clear options.

She blends several therapy styles when they fit a person’s needs. That might look like using cognitive techniques to shift thoughts, emotion-focused work to repair connection, or values-based exercises to guide decisions. The specific plan is shaped together, one step at a time.

Parents and caregivers seeking help around family and parenting topics will find practical tools and calm problem-solving. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, strengthen routine responses, and improve communication. Maryleigh focuses on steady progress more than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Maryleigh commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps that match those values even when difficult feelings appear, which is useful for life changes and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel understood and decide on their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative planning means the treatment can shift over time as needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These formats let people meet from home, keep therapy when schedules are tight, and use short check-ins or longer conversations as needed. The aim is to make steady progress without extra travel or disruption.

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.
