Maryleigh King , LMSW

Maryleigh King is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping adults through life shifts and relationship struggles. She works with people coping with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and issues tied to intimacy and self-esteem. Maryleigh also supports those facing career changes, parenting strain, and concerns tied to women’s issues.

Maryleigh uses straightforward, practical conversations to break problems into manageable steps. Sessions tend to be warm and collaborative, with an emphasis on what each person wants to change and how to get there. She values honest feedback and helps people build small routines that make a noticeable difference.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and six years of clinical experience as an LMSW in Michigan. That experience looks like helping people move through grief, recover from trauma, and find steadier emotional regulation after big life events.

Maryleigh draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person. She introduces tools, then adapts them to fit how someone actually lives day to day.

People who choose her often want a caring clinician who listens closely and offers clear, doable steps. She treats the therapy relationship as a partnership aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want by teaching simple practices to notice thoughts and move forward anyway.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more useful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate in relationships. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and repairing trust or closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryleigh will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape the methods to fit their situation. That collaborative process helps match tools to real life rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the conversation feel more like an in-person visit while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady around work, family, and other daily demands.
