About Marylou
Marylou Biasotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 28 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Marylou draws on cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful habits. She uses mindfulness exercises to interrupt worry and build focus. Hypnotherapy is offered in selected situations as an additional tool rather than a standalone treatment.
Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect clear strategies for coping, short skill-building exercises, and time to talk through difficult memories. The work can include addressing how family roles and early expectations still shape current behavior and choices.
Her background includes diverse settings such as community mental health, corrections, international social work, and private practice. That range informs how she adapts approaches for different life circumstances, including later-life concerns, chronic illness, caregiving, and work-related stress.
She uses a mix of acceptance and commitment ideas, solution-focused steps, and structured cognitive techniques to target issues like low self-esteem, burnout, and transitions. Marylou asks about each person’s goals and adjusts topics and tools as therapy progresses.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters and take values-driven actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to family expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thought and behavior cycles, useful for insomnia, worry, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce rumination and improve concentration.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, current struggles, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as work proceeds, mixing techniques to fit what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods, like brief CBT exercises or mindfulness practices, adapt well to remote sessions and can be assigned as between-session work. Marylou will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit a client's schedule and practical needs.
