Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy forms the core of Marilyn Brodersen’s practice. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting people where they are - the therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space that helps clients explore feelings and values, work through relationship and identity concerns, and address anxiety or grief.

Marilyn pairs that client-centered stance with a practical focus on personal growth and coping strategies. She helps individuals translate self-understanding into day-to-day changes, supporting work on issues like stress management, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and life-stage transitions. The process is collaborative - Marilyn and each client work together to identify goals and the methods that feel most helpful for that person.

Online therapy with Marilyn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings. Marilyn and other licensed professionals adapt the approach and pace to match the client’s needs, preferences, and goals.
