About Marylise
Marylise Zwarts is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn out by relationships, loss, or recurring patterns. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addictions, and trouble with self-esteem or life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and parenting struggles, and stresses tied to work or caregiving.
Marylise has 25 years of experience and practices in Florida. She speaks English and French and accepts international clients. Her approach is practical and focused on quick, meaningful change rather than vague promises. She emphasizes meeting people where they are and working at a pace that fits each person’s life.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s goals and perspectives. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and on EMDR for people who have distressing memories that keep returning. These methods are combined to suit the issue and the person rather than follow a fixed recipe.
Her style is collaborative and direct. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life while building tools for longer-term growth. She encourages small, achievable steps and reinforces each person’s own strengths as part of recovery.
People who choose Marylise can expect straightforward focus on concrete problems like sleep, panic, relationship conflict, or traumatic memories. To get started, readers should follow the site’s intake process and schedule according to available times.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. Online sessions using this approach center conversations on what the person wants to change and build practical steps to get there. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and relationships. In online work it can help identify feelings and past dynamics that repeat in current life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for distressing memories and strong emotional reactions; it involves structured processing of memories to reduce their intensity and the symptoms that follow.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Together they adapt the plan as progress unfolds so sessions stay relevant and focused on what matters most to the client.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can avoid commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce scheduling friction around work or caregiving. For people dealing with sleep problems, anxiety, or traumatic memories, remote sessions can let conversations happen from a convenient place and time while keeping the same therapeutic focus as in-person care.
