About Marjorie

Marjorie Fagan welcomes clients who are ready to take a step toward change and relief from problems that feel overwhelming. Marjorie emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify what keeps them from feeling like their authentic selves and supporting practical steps toward clearer, more manageable daily life.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a partnership rather than a one-way fix and invites clients who want suggestions, strategies, and a sounding board as they work through stressors and life transitions. Marjorie brings 14 years of clinical experience working in a range of settings across California.

She uses a blend of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to tailor work to each person.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), she has repeatedly chosen helping roles over her career and approaches difficult topics like grief, trauma, addiction, mood concerns, relationship and family challenges, parenting, career stress, and bipolar-related issues with steady engagement and practical focus. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Marjorie Integrates Approaches in Online Therapy

Marjorie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, and stress. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to teach present-moment awareness and grounding skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marjorie works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors a plan that may combine strategies from different approaches. Together clients and the therapist review what feels most helpful and adjust the focus over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Marjorie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or work when needed.
