    About Maryleigh

    Maryleigh King is a licensed social worker who helps adults facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She guides people navigating addiction, stress, parenting challenges, career changes, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is warm and straightforward, and she aims to be present and engaged during sessions.

    Maryleigh holds a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and has six years of clinical experience. She blends Motivational Interviewing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps toward change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those methods fit the issue.

    Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, practical steps. Conversations focus on current struggles like codependency, communication problems, midlife transitions, and grief. She also works with people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

    Maryleigh describes her style as compassionate and genuine. She aims to hold space without judgment and help people gain tools for emotional regulation and healthier coping. Work can include skill practice, values clarification, and planning achievable changes.

    Her practice is based in Michigan and she offers services in English. Prospective clients who want to learn more are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Maryleigh commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and motivates small steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying values and learning to act toward them even when feelings are difficult.

    She also leans on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's experience, and Cognitive Behavioral tools for practical skills to manage thoughts and behavior. These methods suit issues like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback about pace, focus, and techniques so work stays relevant to daily life.

    The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking.
