About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Delaware who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, burnout and compassion fatigue, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT matters and gender dysphoria. Marylou lists codependency among her focus areas and brings a practical, respectful approach to each conversation.
She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Marylou draws on mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also uses hypnotherapy techniques and solution-focused work when they fit a person's goals.
Marylou’s background includes long experience across private practice, community mental health, correctional settings, and international social work. That range informs how she tailors plans for different life situations, including aging, chronic illness, bereavement, and career stress. She mentions lived experience as an expatriate, which shapes her understanding of relocation and cultural transitions.
Her style is collaborative and adaptable. Conversations and treatment plans are shaped to the person in front of her rather than a fixed formula. Messaging is used only to supplement scheduled sessions and not as the primary therapy method.
To start, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules according to Marylou’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Marylou’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marylou will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those goals. If something isn’t helpful, she adjusts the plan and tries different techniques together with the client.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions rather than as the main form of therapy, so ask about the current session options when you schedule.
