Maryleigh King

Maryleigh King, LMSW, focuses on helping adults who are facing relationship strain, grief, major life changes, and stress. She talks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. Her style emphasizes practical steps and steady support to help people manage emotions and rebuild confidence.

Maryleigh graduated with a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and holds a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker credential. Over six years she has worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating separation, communication problems, and issues around intimacy and parenting.

In sessions she uses common-sense tools drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. She also draws on relationship frameworks like the Gottman Method and Imago to address communication and connection.

People can expect a warm, engaged presence and a focus on clear goals. Maryleigh prefers to collaborate on small, achievable steps and to track progress between meetings. She sees it as an honor to support people through grief, including hospice and end-of-life counseling, and through transitions toward a clearer sense of purpose.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time to meet. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and arrangements are scheduled based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with grief, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to clarify emotions in close relationships and strengthen connection through guided conversations and practice. That can be useful when intimacy or communication is causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryleigh collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps, adjust techniques over time, and set small, achievable steps together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work because it makes scheduling easier, lets sessions fit around work or caregiving, and can reduce travel time. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video when that better suits the person.
