About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship stress, and related concerns such as codependency and control issues. Sessions are conducted in English.
Marion moved into mental health counseling after a career as an automotive mechanic. That life change shapes how she approaches practical problem solving in sessions. She draws on client-centered work and combines it with cognitive and mindfulness tools to help people manage symptoms and make daily changes.
Her experience includes supporting women who have lived with domestic violence and people in substance use treatment programs. Those roles gave her hands-on time with trauma, survival strategies, and recovery-focused coping. She describes her style as straightforward and occasionally wry, offering a mix of evidence-based techniques and conversational support.
Marion has trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills alongside CBT and mindfulness practices. She aims to teach two usable skills per week, focusing on short, repeatable practices a person can try between sessions.
She names cultural awareness as part of her outlook and notes a Native American background and spiritual perspective. Marion emphasizes steady effort: change takes work and practice, and she works collaboratively with people who are ready to try new strategies.
Background and approach builds on practical tools, clear communication, and attention to trauma recovery and addiction-related needs. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's lead in session. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through hard choices and emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with short exercises and plans you can practice between sessions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to work with traumatic memories by combining focused recollection with specific attention techniques, aimed at reducing the emotional hold of those memories.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Marion will discuss options with each person, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The aim is to match methods to your goals and daily life rather than impose a single model.
Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the basic biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on difficult days, avoid travel time, or use video for face-to-face conversation when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT homework, DBT skills practice, and EMDR-informed strategies to remote sessions, and Marion focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings.
