More about Marilyn
- 21 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I earned my Master of Arts Degree in Professional Counseling from Oakland University in 2005 and has since dedicated my career as an LPC assisting clients from diverse backgrounds find hope and healing. My clinical experience include working with clients with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, work/career conflicts and self-esteem. I take a Client Centered Approach and integrates various evidence-based treatment modalities, Cognitive- Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Positive Therapy (PT). My goal as an LPC is to assist clients in navigating through life's challenges, process emotions, develop healthy effective coping strategies to better manage stress thereby reducing presenting symptoms. My belief is that with the right tools and support, clients will learn to identify triggers, build resilience, implement coping strategies when facing adversities, ultimately creating the best version of self.
Marilyn provides a safe and welcoming therapeutic space, where healing, growth and creative expression is fostered. I believe "Life is a Canvas and you are the Artist". If you can see it and believe it you can create it".

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
