About Marilyn
Marilyn DeLuera is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 14 years of professional experience based in Florida. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and relationship and family issues. She also works with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, anger, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first and then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions often include talking through recent problems, looking at how the past affects current reactions, and trying specific ways to respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is listed among the approaches she uses to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Marilyn also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and family dynamics. She uses client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Narrative therapy and solution-focused techniques are used to name problems and find concrete steps forward.
She frames work as practical problem-solving rather than abstract analysis. People can expect clear conversation about what is happening, small experiments to test new responses, and help making manageable changes. The tone is direct and focused on everyday life tasks like parenting, coping with loss, and managing stress.
Marilyn practices in Florida and works in English. She accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the service's booking flow.
How her approaches fit with online work
Marilyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses to everyday situations. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current interactions; this can help with parenting stress, relationship conflict, and feelings of abandonment.She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person's priorities front and center. Finding the right mix of these approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and adjust methods over time so sessions stay practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
