About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and related concerns. Sessions address issues like grief, intimacy-related problems, relationship strain, parenting stress, and cultural or gender-related questions.
Before counseling, Marion spent years working as an automotive mechanic and then returned to school in her early 40s to train as a counselor. That change shaped how she approaches problems: practical, down-to-earth, and focused on skills you can try between sessions. She has lived and worked in several states and brings that varied background into her work.
Her approach is client-centered and eclectic, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness methods included in her practice. She aims to teach concrete skills - often offering two skills per week - that clients can practice on their own. She emphasizes cultural awareness and notes her Native American heritage and spiritual perspective inform her respect for people’s lives.
Marion has experience supporting women affected by domestic violence and people in substance use recovery, and she has worked in shelter and treatment settings. She describes change as difficult but possible with effort and support. Her style includes some gentle humor and a focus on practical steps.
Clients can expect short, actionable interventions alongside conversation about past trauma, control issues, codependency, and coping with life changes. Marion encourages regular practice of skills between meetings and works collaboratively to track progress.
How Marion uses structured approaches in online work
Marion uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT focuses on specific patterns of thinking and behavior and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns.She also draws on client-centered approaches that prioritize the person's goals and pace. This means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on building practical steps from session to session. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are a focus; DBT provides concrete coping strategies for intense feelings and interpersonal stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marion will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix is the best fit based on needs and goals. She often introduces two new skills per week so clients can practice and report back on what helped.
The profile does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep short, frequent check-ins. Marion’s emphasis on skills practice and brief exercises can fit into weekday or evening routines and support steady progress without long interruptions.
