About Marilyn
Marilyn Priebe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and parenting issues. Her practice also addresses life purpose and related challenges that often follow big life changes.
She approaches work with the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the conversation. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and using them to move through current problems. Marilyn acknowledges how hard it can be to begin therapy and recognises the courage it takes to reach out.
In a typical session she listens for practical patterns that keep problems in place. Then she helps people test small changes and notice what works. The work is straightforward and paced to the client’s comfort level rather than rushed.
Marilyn has long experience with grief, end-of-life concerns, and serious illness, and she applies that background when people face loss or caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with panic, phobias, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Clients who come when they feel stuck about work, relationships, health, or purpose will find a therapist who focuses on clear steps and real-world problems. She helps people name what matters next and tries options that fit daily life. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work
Marilyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and practical changes. One common approach is brief, problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests small behavioral shifts to reduce anxiety or improve mood. This helps with panic, phobias, and daily stress by breaking issues into manageable steps.Another frequent emphasis is grief and loss work that combines listening with specific tasks such as processing difficult memories, planning for caregiving demands, and creating ways to remember and adjust after loss. That approach supports people facing serious illness, hospice concerns, or major life transitions.
Finding the right approach is something Marilyn treats as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and easing travel time. Because the biography does not specify formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to have regular check-ins, shorter follow-ups, or work around caregiving and employment demands.
