About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, anxiety, and life changes. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, parenting concerns, and career-related issues.
Maryleigh offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on problems you can name and steps you can try. She listens for patterns of thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Then she helps people test different responses to see what works. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and ongoing practice in the state. She uses several approaches in her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods guide how she organizes sessions, frames problems, and builds specific exercises.
In couples-related work she uses relationship-focused models such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to address communication and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, and longstanding trauma by combining practical skills and emotion-focused techniques.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Maryleigh helps people set realistic short-term goals and practices to try between appointments. She encourages regular check-ins on what’s helping and what needs to change, so plans stay useful as life shifts.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maryleigh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts and suggests short experiments to try between meetings, which can fit well with remote check-ins.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage committed action. ACT supports handling difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, keeping the client's priorities in focus during each session.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Maryleigh will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds useful. The aim is to find a method that matches goals, preferences, and everyday life demands.
