About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and other life changes.
She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier day to day. Sessions tend to address communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She also helps with issues that show up after trauma, during divorce or separation, and around hospice and end-of-life concerns.
Maryleigh draws on several evidence-informed methods. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally focused approaches for relationship patterns. She also uses elements of the Gottman method when relationship communication is a focus.
In session she works with clients to set clear goals and try small changes between appointments. Conversations are straightforward and paced for someone juggling household responsibilities. Practical skills, behavioral experiments, and communication practice are common parts of her work.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Before a first appointment, readers should confirm which session formats are currently offered and how scheduling is handled.
How sessions work
How Maryleigh applies therapies online
Maryleigh uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters to them. ACT is often useful for navigating life changes, stress, and issues like grief or low motivation.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, unhelpful coping, and patterns that cause conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryleigh will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That makes sessions collaborative and responsive to what is actually happening at home.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is difficult. It can also let people practice communication skills between appointments in real-life settings and bring examples from daily routines into sessions.
