About Marjorie

Marjorie Alexander is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and the challenges that come with life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of professional experience to support clients navigating motivation, confidence, and periods of change, adapting conversations and plans to match each person's needs. Working from a respectful and compassionate stance, she emphasizes sensitivity to individual circumstances while using practical, evidence-informed methods.

Her practice also addresses related issues such as body image, relationship and communication difficulties, blended family concerns, postpartum depression, and feelings of guilt or isolation. Marjorie aims to create a collaborative process that centers a client’s goals and strengths.

Clients who choose her for therapy can expect a tailored approach that blends problem-solving and emotional exploration. She frames the work as a partnership, encouraging small, achievable steps toward improved coping, self-love, and healthier patterns of relating to others.

Online Approaches That Match Your Needs

Marjorie commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods when working online. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or stress, making it useful for goal-oriented change. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and support to help clarify values and build self-esteem.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship or attachment concerns arise, helping people notice and change patterns that create distance or distress. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions rather than assuming a single path from the start.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting clients pick formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or travel, and they allow the therapist to adapt exercises and interventions to the format that works best for each person.
