About Marjorie

Marjorie Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She works with clients who are feeling isolated or lonely and those adjusting to new stages in life. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy. Marjorie uses straightforward conversations to tailor care to each person. She focuses on what a client needs now and adjusts plans as progress is made. Sessions aim to build skills for managing anxiety, strengthen self-worth, and improve everyday coping. Her approach draws on client-centered principles that put the person's experience first. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Emotionally-focused ideas guide attention to important feelings during hard moments. Mindfulness tools are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-focused strategies help set practical, short-term goals when people want quicker changes. Marjorie combines these methods in ways that match each client's goals. She has five years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, which means she is a licensed clinical social worker. Marjorie practices in Illinois and provides care in English. She welcomes international clients and supports people who are ready to take that first step toward feeling less alone and more capable.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and responding with empathy. Online sessions using this approach center the client's concerns and pace, helping people feel heard while they talk through loneliness or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical changes. In remote sessions CBT can involve short exercises between meetings to practice new thinking and behavior for anxiety and self-esteem work.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to important feelings and relationships that shape how someone experiences stress. Online EFT-style conversations can help clarify emotions and strengthen ways of responding in close relationships.

Marjorie will work collaboratively to find which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She will consider goals, preferences, and what feels most useful as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistent care while juggling everyday responsibilities.
