Marylou Biasotto , LCSW

Marylou Biasotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to gender and sexual identity. Marylou brings 28 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Marylou listens closely and adapts conversations to each person's needs. She uses simple, practical tools so people can try new strategies between sessions.

Marylou draws on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She may also use solution-focused methods to set clear goals and hypnotherapy when it seems helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven into many sessions to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.

Her background includes work in private practice, community mental health, corrections, and international social work. That variety shaped a down-to-earth approach to common life problems like relocation, illness, caregiving, and job strain.

People who choose Marylou can expect practical steps, gentle challenge, and attention to life context. She encourages small experiments that fit day-to-day life and checks in about what is working. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by distress, or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety or low mood, and then practice alternative responses that produce different results. Hypnotherapy can be used as a relaxation and focus tool to support behavior change and reduce stress when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem promising, and adjust based on what helps. Expect a mix of talking, short exercises, and at-home practice so the work continues between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper interaction. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit care into busy lives and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
