About Marjorie

Marjorie Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self esteem, and big life changes. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to make the first step feel reachable. Marjorie writes treatment plans that match each person's situation and goals. Her style centers on listening closely and tailoring conversation to what matters most. She uses practical tools to build confidence and coping skills. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps for change rather than overloading with theory. Marjorie draws from several familiar approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her shift between exploring emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and finding clearer ways to relate to others. People come to her for struggles with body image, blended family tensions, communication problems, and postpartum depression. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and challenges tied to women's and young adult issues. With five years of professional experience as an LCSW, Marjorie focuses on practical progress. She treats each person with sensitivity and adapts the pace as needed. She welcomes honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.

How Marjorie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead and aims to create a respectful, listening space. This approach helps when someone needs a place to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and actions and then trying small changes. It is useful for anxiety, low self esteem, and practical coping during life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal choices. It can help people find clearer ways to express needs and repair communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marjorie will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process lets the plan change as progress is made. The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a day easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work from different locations when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and breathing or grounding practices to suit remote sessions and client lifestyles.
