Maryleigh King , LMSW

Maryleigh King is a fully licensed therapist who earned a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She provides therapeutic support to adults navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, challenges with emotional regulation, unhealthy coping patterns, and those pursuing personal or professional growth and greater self-efficacy.

Her practice is grounded in a strong belief in the therapeutic process and in people’s capacity for change when offered consistent support. Maryleigh brings a warm, present, engaged, compassionate, and genuine stance to her work. She views it as an honor to hold space and to walk alongside individuals as they evolve toward a renewed sense of self and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Maryleigh King draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a values-centered approach that helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. ACT can be useful for people facing life changes, anxiety, or patterns that undermine well-being.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

In addition, Maryleigh uses client-centered principles that emphasize empathy, active listening, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship to support personal growth and self-efficacy.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Maryleigh works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor interventions that fit each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility across formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make consistent care easier to maintain around work, family, and travel. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving continuity and convenience in their therapeutic work.
