About Marion
Marion Saulque is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She moved into counseling after a career as an automotive mechanic and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach. Marion focuses on helping people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and parenting stress.
She has three years of clinical experience supporting people through substance recovery, domestic violence survival, and post-traumatic stress. Marion draws on that background when she talks about safety, coping, and rebuilding day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She names cultural awareness as part of her work and brings a respectful perspective rooted in her Native American identity. Her style is client-centered and flexible. Sessions include straightforward conversation, a bit of humor, and skills you can use between meetings.
Marion aims to teach two practical skills each week so clients have tools to practice on their own. Marion uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address thinking patterns and present-moment coping. She also incorporates dialectical behavior ideas to help with emotion regulation and mentions work with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she has been training in.
She adjusts methods to match a person’s needs and goals. She works with a wide range of concerns that include grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem, parenting, and anger. Marion encourages steady, realistic change and partners with clients to set small, doable steps.
If someone prefers a practical, respectful counselor who focuses on skills, she may be a good fit.

How Marion’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for parents who want a nonjudgmental space to talk through stress and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Marion uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and patterns like codependency.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. These skills are practical for handling anger, intense reactions, and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Marion will discuss goals and preferences and combine methods that fit what the client needs. She adjusts pace and techniques based on feedback so work stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between meetings.
