Marylou Biasotto

Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns around trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Marylou lists LGBT and bipolar among her focus areas and brings 28 years of professional practice to her work.

She writes in plain, respectful language and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Her approach combines mindfulness and cognitive behavioral strategies, with hypnotherapy used when appropriate. Sessions emphasize practical skills, short-term strategies, and attention to what matters to the individual.

Marylou’s background includes private practice, community mental health, work with people in prisons, and international social work experiences. That range informs her awareness of life transitions, relocation stress, and the impacts of illness and aging.

In the therapy room she aims to be sensitive and compassionate. She collaborates on goals and tailors interventions to suit each person’s situation. Messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions and not as a primary method of delivering therapy.

She practices in Delaware as an LCSW. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Marylou commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when life changes leave someone feeling stuck or unsure what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or sleep troubles.

She also uses hypnotherapy interventions when appropriate to support relaxation and shifts in habit or perspective. That approach can be paired with mindfulness and CBT tools to help with sleep, stress, and confidence building.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the situation. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and provide options for quieter surroundings or not being on camera. Licensed professionals use these benefits to help sessions fit everyday life.
