Marlea Mazyck, LCSW, LISW

Marlea Mazyck is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and centers each person’s experience, treating clients as the experts in their own lives. Marlea encourages small steps and offers steady support as people work toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

She uses a mix of practical therapy approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, exploring personal stories that shape behavior, or identifying values and actions that matter most. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on doable changes rather than abstract theories.

Marlea brings five years of overall professional experience and holds LCSW and LISW credentials. Her background includes work with people dealing with compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, family strain, and life transitions like midlife shifts and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people coping with aging and caregiver stress.

In the room she helps people build tools for everyday life. That may include brief behavioral experiments, values-based goals, motivational conversations about change, and space to tell and reframe difficult stories. The work is steady and practical, with attention to the person’s pace and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation or addictive urges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals; the therapist follows the client’s lead and creates space to process difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlea will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She tailors techniques from these approaches collaboratively rather than sticking to a single method, so the plan fits the person’s needs and pace.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people use methods like behavioral experiments or values-based homework between sessions, which supports steady progress without promising a particular outcome.
