About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King, LMSW, focuses on helping adults navigate parenting concerns alongside stress, grief, relationships, and life changes. She writes in a direct, calm way and aims to make therapy approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Maryleigh takes a practical, person-centered approach.
Sessions often begin by listening to what matters most to the client and setting small, clear goals. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and act on what they value.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and relationship tools when intimacy or communication is part of the problem. That can mean learning new ways to talk about needs, reduce blaming, and rebuild trust in everyday moments. The focus is on skills you can use between sessions.
Maryleigh received a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and holds a Michigan licensed master social worker credential. She has six years of experience working with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, mood struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Maryleigh is open to working with international clients.
She blends steady listening with concrete steps so parents and individuals can manage stress, improve relationships, and move toward goals they set for themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Maryleigh commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can be useful for parenting stress and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building practical skills to change behaviors and moods, often used for anxiety and depression.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which emphasize empathic listening and meeting the person where they are. Finding the right blend of methods is a shared process; the therapist and client review goals and try approaches that feel workable for the client's situation and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for relationship work and detailed coaching. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or useful when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get brief support between appointments or to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
