About Marilyn
Marilyn Priebe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Marilyn approaches work with the idea that each person knows their own story. She looks for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to handle challenges. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than big sudden shifts.
In sessions she listens to what is most pressing and helps people make clear plans. That may include practicing ways to set boundaries, manage overwhelming feelings, or cope with loss. She also supports people dealing with control issues, codependency patterns, and the fallout from family of origin problems.
Her experience includes situations tied to aging, serious illness such as cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and stress after disasters. Marilyn also has experience with panic attacks, phobias, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.
People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation and practical options. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches fit with online sessions
Marilyn describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills people can use every day. One common approach involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns so feelings like anxiety and depression become easier to manage. This is useful for worry, panic, and negative self-talk. Another approach centers on practical coping skills for strong emotions and stress, such as grounding, paced breathing, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. These techniques help with trauma reactions, grief, and high stress responses.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Marilyn collaborates with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals, routines, and what feels doable. She checks in and adjusts the approach as people gain skills or face new challenges.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, or let someone do a session without travel. Many licensed professionals tailor pace and tools to the online format so therapy fits everyday life.
