About Marjorie
Marjorie Alexander is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Marjorie focuses on practical support that helps people manage day-to-day challenges and feel more steady in stressful times.
Her approach centers on listening closely and responding to what each person brings to sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape reactions and relationships. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the person’s priorities.
Marjorie incorporates cognitive behavioral tools when useful to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and calm in moments of overwhelm. Solution-focused steps help break down larger problems into concrete next actions.
She has worked with issues that often overlap, such as blended family concerns, communication problems, body image, postpartum depression, and feelings of isolation. Marjorie helps people talk through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the pressure many women report as they move into young adulthood and parenting stages.
Sessions emphasize clear, practical conversation and short exercises to try between meetings. People who want straightforward feedback and tools for coping often find this style helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your schedule.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they affect the ways people react and connect. Online sessions using EFT can help identify recurring emotional patterns and practice new responses to reduce reactivity.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities. In an online setting this means sessions follow what matters most to the client, with the therapist reflecting and summarizing to clarify goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often uses brief skill practice and worksheets between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. Marjorie will discuss options and help decide what fits a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as work progresses.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and cut travel time so sessions fit into busy days. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect with licensed professionals in Illinois when that arrangement fits both parties.
