About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. Her listed specialties include trauma, addictions, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Maryleigh uses clear, emotion-focused approaches in sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help name hard-to-identify feelings and shift patterns that keep people stuck. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and elements of the Gottman Method when relevant to the goals brought into therapy.
In a typical session she listens to what matters most, helps untangle strong emotions, and works with clients on practical steps that address everyday problems. Conversations may cover coping skills, communication habits, grief processing, or managing stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people exploring codependency, career concerns, and life purpose.
Maryleigh trained with a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and holds an LMSW in Michigan. Her approach blends talking and active strategies so clients can practice new responses between sessions. She accepts clients from outside the U.S. and conducts work in English.
