About Marjorie
Marjorie Fagan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She welcomes parents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to help their children and themselves. Marjorie offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or major life changes.
She draws on 14 years of clinical experience and practical strategies rather than quick fixes. Sessions focus on problem-solving, learning new skills, and noticing patterns that keep difficulties going.
Background and approach
Marjorie uses plain language and real examples so parents can try things between sessions. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps people understand how thoughts, emotions, and past experiences shape current reactions.
Solution-focused work is used to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Marjorie has worked in a range of clinical settings and with diverse cultural backgrounds. She emphasizes collaboration and aims to build a working plan that fits each person’s life and values.
Conversations are practical and geared toward daily life changes. Therapy sessions can be scheduled in ways that fit busy family life. Marjorie supports parents dealing with parenting concerns, relationship strain, addiction issues, career transitions, and mood disorders such as bipolar.
She encourages taking the first step and will help map out a path forward.

How her approaches translate to online work
Marjorie uses cognitive behavioral work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. That kind of work often involves setting small experiments and homework to practice new ways of responding to stress or parenting challenges.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people calm the body and observe feelings without reacting instantly. Mindfulness can be especially useful for parents who want tools to manage moments of overwhelm and respond more clearly.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marjorie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She guides the choice and adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work through exercises together, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for parents balancing work, children, and other responsibilities.
