Marylou Biasotto, LCSW

Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She works with clients on coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and career. Marylou also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, aging questions, and end-of-life care. She brings 28 years of experience and practices from Delaware.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She blends mindfulness and cognitive behavioral ideas into everyday tools people can use between sessions. Hypnotherapy is offered when it seems helpful, and solution-focused techniques are used to set concrete goals and small steps forward. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a single formula.

Marylou describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for what matters most to the client and builds a plan around their priorities and pace. The work often includes learning simple exercises, trying new coping strategies, and checking what does and does not help in real life.

She has practiced in a mix of settings over many years, including private practice, community mental health, and international social work. That background informs her ability to adapt to different life situations and cultural contexts. Clients can expect respectful, sensitive interactions grounded in practical tools.

People considering care are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy flow to begin. The intake step matches needs and then allows scheduling based on the therapist's availability. Marylou notes that messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions, not as the primary form of therapy.

How Marylou Uses Practical Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That may mean combining mindfulness practices, ACT exercises, CBT techniques, and occasional hypnotherapy interventions when appropriate.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Messaging is described as an adjunct tool for between-session communication rather than the main form of therapy. Many people find online sessions can fit into busy days more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
