About Marjorie
Marjorie Fagan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, career stress, and bipolar-related issues.
Marjorie uses clear, structured methods to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Mindfulness-based skills are introduced to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings across diverse communities in Southern California. She describes herself as collaborative rather than directive, offering suggestions and tools while working with each person to find what helps. Marjorie values straightforward sessions that focus on specific goals and practical steps.
Sessions typically look at current problems, build small experiments to try between meetings, and teach simple skills for coping and mood regulation. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted based on what is working. The overall aim is to reduce distress and increase everyday functioning through concrete changes.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Marjorie works in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marjorie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical alternatives. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short experiments between meetings, and measurable steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also brings Mindfulness Therapy into sessions to develop simple attention practices and reduce automatic reactivity. Mindfulness work is brief and skill-based, useful for anxiety, stress, and managing mood swings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Marjorie will discuss goals, what has or hasn't helped in the past, and which approaches feel most useful. She adapts tools collaboratively so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If you prefer particular session arrangements, confirm the current options when you schedule your first meeting.
