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 manage stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Her manner is relaxed and straightforward, so conversations are direct and practical.
She focuses on helping people improve communication, build self-esteem, and cope with life changes. Parents looking for guidance on family dynamics and parenting strategies can expect clear feedback and doable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often include brainstorming concrete things to say or try at home. Marjorie draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and she leans on client-centered methods to keep the session grounded in a person’s priorities.
She also uses skills-oriented strategies for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Her style is candid and encouraging. She speaks plainly, sets straightforward goals, and practices with clients until new skills feel familiar.
Many sessions focus on specific problems - coping plans for stressful times, communication scripts, or step-by-step behavior changes. Marjorie has worked in varied settings and with diverse concerns over her career, including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and coping with health crises. She offers practical support aimed at small, sustainable changes that fit into busy family life.

How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT to clarify what matters most and set small, value-driven goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with practical alternatives. In remote sessions, CBT often includes homework tasks and real-time coaching to try new skills between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and changing interaction patterns in close relationships, helping partners or individuals name emotions and respond differently to each other.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed. Clients often try a mix of techniques until they find what works for their situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send short updates, ask quick questions between sessions, or use written coaching when a full session isn’t possible. These options make it easier to fit support into a busy parenting schedule and maintain momentum between meetings.
