About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship problems, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also helps people who struggle with stress, addictions, codependency, and issues around intimacy and communication.
Maryleigh trained at Michigan State University where she earned a Master of Social Work. She focuses on practical conversations that help people notice patterns and try new ways of handling hard moments. Sessions often include straightforward support for managing strong emotions and for improving how people relate to others.
Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Client-Centered techniques and relationship-focused work like Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method. In practice this means working on values, changing unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication skills.
People who come to her typically want clear steps to set boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, or cope with loss and big life changes. She can guide practical exercises, role-play difficult conversations, and suggest daily skills to lower stress and manage cravings or mood swings.
Maryleigh describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set goals and test what helps in real life. Her style is direct and people can expect concrete tools alongside personal reflection.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when people feel stuck or are avoiding painful emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is focused on how people relate emotionally and can be useful for improving communication and connection in close relationships.Finding the right approach often takes a few conversations. Maryleigh will work with each person to identify what fits their goals and needs. She treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and may combine techniques to match how someone prefers to work.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Video can allow face-to-face interaction while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day life.
