About Marion
Marion Saulque is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She came to counseling after a career as an automotive mechanic and now brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Marion describes her style as client-centered and down-to-earth, with some humor to ease difficult conversations.
She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress. Marion also works with people facing relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Codependency, control issues, domestic violence, and recovery from sexual assault are among her additional focus areas.
Marion uses practical tools in sessions and aims to teach two skills per week that clients can try between meetings. She draws on approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, EMDR, and mindfulness practices when these fit a person’s needs. The goal is to build skills people can use in daily life.
Her own life journey informs her approach: she has lived in multiple states and identifies as Native American, which shapes her cultural perspective and spiritual outlook. Marion emphasizes respect for all living things and works to be nonjudgmental and culturally aware.
She frames change as challenging but possible when people get steady support. Marion aims to help people stay the course, practice new skills, and work toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable.
How her approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, so sessions prioritize the client’s goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and practical problem solving to make steady progress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship stress. These skills are useful for managing anger, panic attacks, and overwhelming moods.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marion will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily routine. She tailors sessions so clients can try new skills between meetings and adjust as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut down travel time, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from the places and times that work best. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote settings while helping clients practice new skills in real life.
