About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Delaware with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem. Her practice notes also include work with LGBT concerns, bipolar issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Marylou draws on plain, practical tools rather than technical language. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and hypnotherapy when it may help a specific issue. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify concrete next steps and short-term goals.
Her background spans private practice, community mental health, prison work, and international social work. That range has shaped an adaptable approach for different life situations, including immigration-related stresses and challenges faced by people living abroad. She has experience supporting people with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder issues.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. Expect a mix of discussion, skills practice, and brief exercises to try between meetings. Messaging is used only as a supplement between sessions, not as the main form of therapy.
She sees people in Delaware and works in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes, which helps with mood, anxiety, sleep, and anger. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits or to reduce distress, and it is sometimes combined with other methods.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals and day-to-day life. Sessions often begin by identifying one or two problems to focus on and then trying brief exercises or skills between meetings to see what helps.
The biography notes messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions rather than as the main therapy. Because explicit session formats were not detailed, confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also gives room to practice mindfulness or CBT exercises in the environments where problems actually occur.
