About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is an LCSW practicing in Delaware who brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar concerns, coaching, and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas of attention include aging and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic pain and illness, codependency, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, gender dysphoria, immigration issues, isolation and loneliness, and hospice and end-of-life support.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices, and she integrates hypnotherapy and solution-focused strategies when appropriate. Marylou emphasizes tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person's circumstances, combining practical skills with a holistic view of change.
She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship and encourages clients to collaborate on goals and strategies. Clients interested in working with her should note that she practices in Delaware and uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as part of her services.
She asks that messaging be used as a supplement between sessions rather than the primary mode of therapy.
Online approaches using CBT and mindfulness
Marylou often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT emphasizes values-driven action and accepting difficult internal experiences to increase psychological flexibility.She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic health concerns. These approaches are practical and skill-oriented, and she may combine them with brief solution-focused techniques or hypnotherapy interventions when appropriate to the client's needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from Delaware. These formats support varied schedules and communication preferences, and messaging can be used between sessions as a supplemental way to stay engaged while working toward therapeutic goals.
