About Marilyn

Marilyn DeLuera welcomes people dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship strain, and changes in mood or life direction. She supports those coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, and the heaviness of isolation or shame. Marilyn is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of professional experience and works from a strengths-based perspective.

Her sessions are straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, helps people name what matters, and then works with them to set small, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Conversations may look at past wounds, current patterns, and practical steps to feel more steady day to day. Marilyn draws on attachment-based ideas to improve relationships and on client-centered methods to keep the work personal. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and narrative therapy to rewrite painful stories people tell about themselves.

Motivational interviewing helps when making tough changes feels overwhelming. People often come for help with parenting pressures, caregiving stress, or feeling stuck after loss. Marilyn aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to sort out what matters most and to try manageable strategies between visits.

Her approach blends warmth with clear direction. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that fits each person’s life. Marilyn practices in Florida and offers support in English.

Clients who prefer remote care can connect in several ways. Marilyn helps people shape a plan that fits their routines and goals, whether they need a short check-in or deeper, ongoing work.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Marilyn uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early connections shape current relationships, which can ease communication and reduce repeating patterns. She pairs that with client-centered work that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s values and priorities, helping them feel heard and respected during sessions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. Those tools can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear steps to practice between sessions. Together, these approaches help address relationship patterns, mood concerns, and practical coping needs in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marilyn will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and what feels most useful. She adjusts methods over time so the work lines up with progress and changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for deeper conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, mood tracking, or when someone prefers writing to speak. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
