About Marlene
Marlene Levine is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 30 years of professional experience guiding people through relationship struggles, anger concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s voice while integrating practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize patterns and develop actionable coping strategies. Her practice emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where emotions and thoughts can be explored openly.
Marlene encourages clients to take the first steps toward change, offering steady support and empowerment as they work toward greater motivation, confidence, and emotional balance. She helps tailor interventions to individual needs, focusing on achievable goals and gradual progress toward a more satisfying life.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to create healthier patterns of thinking and behavior; this approach is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and challenges like anger or low self-esteem. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their feelings and goals at their own pace, supporting self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marlene collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so the work feels practical and personally relevant. The selection of strategies is guided by conversation and ongoing feedback rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing clients to choose how they engage while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who specialize in these approaches.
