Marylene Goode , AZ Psychologist PSY-004962

Marylene Goode is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Arizona. She brings 17 years of experience and a background as a U.S. Army Veteran and former military psychologist to her work. Marylene helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.

She works with adults who face a wide range of mental health concerns and also supports parents and caregivers dealing with chronic illness, fertility challenges, or family conflict. Sessions are offered in English and French to accommodate bilingual clients.

Marylene favors evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build coping skills and strengthen day-to-day functioning. She focuses on practical strategies that people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve communication. Testing for PTSD and ADHD is available as part of her practice.

Her approach blends clinical experience with attention to cultural and military backgrounds. That means she listens for how life experience shapes feelings and behavior, then tailors interventions to fit each person's needs. The tone of sessions is direct yet compassionate, with an emphasis on clear steps forward.

People who choose Marylene can expect structured work on symptoms and relationships, plus support navigating medical or caregiving stress. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable, helping clients leave sessions with concrete ideas to try.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Marylene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral tools that reduce overwhelming symptoms. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work, helping people process difficult memories and learn safety and coping skills to manage triggers and intrusive thoughts.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend steps to try together. Adjustments happen over time based on what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling for many people. Video calls approximate an in-person session and allow visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when a written record of progress is helpful. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
