About Marjorie
Marjorie "Marj" Melchreit is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker, LISW, with 32 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, career changes, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and codependency. Marj also supports people dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy.
Her sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person needs now. She listens to how problems show up in daily life and looks for changes that fit the client's routine. Practical strategies and clear steps are used alongside reflective conversation.
Marj uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's concerns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness practices to build present-moment coping. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help with decisions and short-term goal setting.
Her background includes long-term practice in Ohio working with adults across many life stages. That experience informs a direct but respectful style that pays attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to addiction and recovery.
People who are worn down by taking care of others first often find the work here is about reclaiming small choices. Sessions look at boundary-setting, communication problems, and patterns that keep people stuck. The focus is on clear, manageable changes rather than vague promises.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences. It involves listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and space to sort through complex feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention practices to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult emotions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different techniques to see what helps most. Sessions can combine methods and adapt over time based on progress and preference.
