Marilyn DeLuera , LCSW

Marilyn DeLuera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people in discovering possibilities and practical ways to feel better, starting from wherever they are in life. She views therapy as a path to uncovering strengths, revisiting past wounds when needed, and exploring alternatives that foster greater self-regard and purpose. Work with her often focuses on helping people feel heard, rebuild confidence, and find a clearer sense of belonging and meaning.

She practices from a client-centered perspective, placing the person at the center of the therapeutic process and meeting each individual where they are. Marilyn also recognizes how genetics and environment shape our lives and appreciates that nobody succeeds entirely on their own - we all benefit from help and connection at times.

With 14 years of professional experience listening and assisting others, Marilyn combines formal training with a lifetime of caregiving roles. As a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, employee, friend, and student, she draws on those varied life experiences to relate, empathize, and guide. She invites individuals to begin their journey toward healing and growth with a collaborative and respectful approach.

Approaches for Online Support and Healing

Marilyn integrates several therapeutic methods that translate well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on placing the person at the heart of treatment - the therapist offers empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and support while the client leads the pace and goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation, greater self-understanding, and personal empowerment.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns of connection, emotion, and trust. It helps people address difficulties in relationships, attachment wounds, and caregiving stress by building healthier ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It provides practical tools for coping with mood challenges and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation. Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without major schedule disruption.
