About Marlea
Marlea Mazyck is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and problems with addiction. She speaks plain language and focuses on each person's strengths. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Background and approach

That mix lets Marlea use storytelling, values-based goals, and concrete behavior changes depending on what a person needs. She also uses Client-Centered methods and Motivational Interviewing to keep sessions collaborative and focused on the client's priorities.
With five years of professional experience, Marlea has worked with issues such as compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment struggles, feelings of emptiness, midlife transitions, and multicultural concerns. Marlea holds licenses as an LCSW and an LISW.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
Marlea commonly draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from the problem so they can imagine different outcomes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions warm and collaborative, allowing the person to guide the pace and topics. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marlea will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods together to see what fits best for each person.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection feels important. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when looking for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and schedules while working with licensed professionals.
