About Marlea

Marlea Mazyck is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She emphasizes the client's own knowledge and strengths, offering supportive guidance as people take steps toward greater well-being.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience and licenses in both Florida and Ohio as well as practice in South Carolina, she blends practical strategies with empathy to support clients through difficult emotions and life changes.

Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques that explore how thoughts and behaviors interact, acceptance-based strategies that emphasize values and present-moment action, and client-centered listening that prioritizes each person’s perspective. Marlea aims to empower clients to build coping skills, clarify goals, and develop a plan that fits their lives.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to recognize and use their existing resources while experimenting with new ways of managing challenges.

How evidence-informed approaches fit online therapy

Marlea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, offering practical skills clients can practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed actions toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for grief, life transitions, and long-standing struggles.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, review past experiences with therapy, and suggest strategies while inviting client feedback so the plan evolves based on what feels most helpful and relevant to the person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Marlea uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and to practice skills between meetings in ways that fit daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT techniques effectively through these remote formats to support ongoing progress.
