About Marie
Dr. Marie Isom is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years in private practice and 19 years in the mental health field overall. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and anger.
Her approach mixes straightforward conversation with practical methods. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that make things worse. Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused conversations are included when they fit the person's goals.
In sessions she helps people break down overwhelming feelings into manageable steps. That can mean naming triggers, practicing new responses, or setting small goals to rebuild confidence. She also addresses related concerns such as sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues that come up with caregiving or blended families.
Marie pays attention to how life roles and stresses affect mood and behavior. She works with clients on practical strategies for work stress, relationship tension, and handling anger that shows up at home or on the job. She also supports people coping with isolation, obsessions and compulsions, and financial stress.
Her background includes work across clinical settings before private practice. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist asks about current problems, reflects what she hears, and helps set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides hands-on exercises for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood, such as testing beliefs and practicing new responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing active CBT exercises with client-centered discussion and short mindfulness practices during sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or after work. They can also let people use audio-only check-ins or shorter visits when that better suits a schedule or energy level.
