About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports those facing career stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Marylou keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then shapes a plan with each person. Sessions often use mindfulness and cognitive behavioral ideas, and she may add hypnotherapy techniques when they seem helpful.
Her background includes work in private practice, community mental health, prison settings, and international social work. That variety gives her experience with many kinds of life challenges, including immigration-related concerns and issues that come with aging or chronic illness.
She combines practical tools with reflective work. Clients can expect learning small skills they can use between meetings, such as breathing and grounding exercises or steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Hypnotherapy is offered as another option when appropriate to the person’s needs.
Marylou encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready. The first session focuses on understanding immediate worries and agreeing on a simple plan. She notes that messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions and not as a primary treatment method.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck by life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that make problems worse and practicing different ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and calm. Those short exercises can be used daily between sessions to help with stress and sleep routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful for the person.
If you plan to use online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills from home. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools to work in virtual appointments so people can keep making progress around daily routines.
