About Marjorie
Marjorie Stewart is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience. She combines life coaching with counseling to help people who feel anxious, stressed, frustrated, or sad. Her approach is relaxed and direct, and she aims to create a space where clients can talk things through and learn practical skills. Marjorie mentions experience with military members and their families, and she brings that perspective into sessions when relevant.
In sessions she focuses on clear, everyday goals like improving communication, building self-esteem, or coping with life changes. She uses straightforward exercises and conversations to brainstorm options and practice new responses. Clients can expect honest feedback and a focus on what will help in daily life rather than long theoretical talks.
Marjorie draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to break problems into manageable steps. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when teaching calm, emotion-regulating skills.
She often helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, and situations tied to adoption and foster care. Marjorie also supports people dealing with illness, caregiving stress, and big life transitions. Her goal is practical change over time, working at a pace that fits each person.
To begin, she asks people to say what matters most to them and then builds a plan around those priorities. The emphasis is on useful tools, clearer communication, and steady progress toward daily wellbeing.
Approaches you can use during online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on listening, empathy, and supporting the client to find their own solutions, which can strengthen confidence and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. When available, remote sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Marjorie aims to help clients use practical skills from these approaches in everyday situations so progress can happen between sessions.
