About Marylou

Marylou Biasotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions are presented in English and her practice reflects long experience across private practice and community settings.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to examine thoughts and behaviors that fuel strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises are included to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Hypnotherapy may be offered when it fits a client's goals and comfort level.

Marylou also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take steps consistent with what matters to them. She uses solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals and track progress from session to session. The work tends to focus on skills people can practice between meetings, not just talk during them.

Her background includes community mental health, private practice, work with correctional populations, and international social work. That mix informs a pragmatic style aimed at improving coping, managing anger and stress, and addressing grief or trauma symptoms. Messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions rather than as the main form of therapy.

To begin a working relationship, clients follow the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Cost varies with location and sessions operate on a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take small actions in line with those values. In online sessions this often looks like short exercises and planning between meetings to practice new behaviors in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing out new responses to them. Virtually this usually includes structured worksheets, behavioral experiments, and reviewing what worked or didn’t in the previous week.

Hypnotherapy is used selectively to support relaxation and focused change in habits or reactions. When appropriate she may introduce guided suggestions during a session to help with symptoms like sleep problems or entrenched anxiety responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust as progress is observed. That collaborative planning helps set clear, practical goals for anger management, stress reduction, or other concerns.

The specifics of how sessions are delivered should be confirmed before booking. The practice uses messaging only as an adjunct between sessions and does not rely on messaging as the primary therapy method. Confirm current session options so meetings can be scheduled to fit work, caregiving, or other daily commitments.
