About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Delaware. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. Marylou offers a calm, respectful presence that aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable.
Marylou brings 28 years of professional experience across private practice, community mental health, correctional settings, and international social work. She has helped people coping with chronic illness, cancer, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports those affected by codependency, family of origin struggles, immigration challenges, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her approach blends practical tools with reflective work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity and build calm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas inform values-based choices and meaningful action.
Marylou incorporates hypnotherapy when it may help with habit change, sleep, or managing strong stress responses. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress. Treatment is tailored to individual needs, with clear steps and collaborative planning.
She communicates between sessions primarily by messaging only as an adjunct, not as a main therapy format. Marylou invites people who are ready to make a change to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction when things feel empty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Hypnotherapy is used selectively to support habit change, reduce stress reactions, and improve sleep by guiding attention and relaxation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marylou treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which combination of methods fits a person’s needs, goals, and comfort. The plan can shift as progress is made and priorities change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats can vary. Messaging is used only as an adjunct between sessions and is not a primary therapy method. Many people find online therapy helps fit visits into a busy life, makes scheduling easier, and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support the same exercises used in person, including mindfulness practice, CBT worksheets, and guided hypnotherapy techniques, while keeping focus on practical change and daily life integration.
