About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Washington state licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She moved into counseling after a career as an automotive mechanic, bringing practical problem solving and plainspoken support to sessions. Marion emphasizes a client-centered, down-to-earth approach and uses a bit of humor to ease tense moments.
She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress. Marion also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and issues tied to sexuality and women's health. Her background includes work with women affected by domestic violence and people in recovery from substance use.
Marion uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that match each person's needs. She has recently been training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Internal Family Systems and integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful.
She describes herself as culturally aware and nonjudgmental, and she draws on a spiritual perspective as a Native American clinician. In sessions she aims to teach two practical skills per week so clients can try them between meetings.
Marion encourages steady, realistic progress. She frames change as hard but possible with effort and support, and she focuses on helping people find a more manageable, meaningful life.

How Marion Uses Motivational Interviewing and Skills Online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people explore their own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to build motivation and clarify personal goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead, creating space for them to name what's most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches specific tools to shift unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Marion collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday life.
