Marylou Biasotto , LCSW

Marylou Biasotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Delaware with 28 years of professional experience across diverse practice settings. Her background includes work in private practice, community mental health, prison populations, and international social work, and she draws on that breadth to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also works with issues related to aging, motivation, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, career challenges, and compassion fatigue, among other areas of focus.

Having lived abroad as an expatriate for three years, she is familiar with the adjustments and stresses that can accompany living in another country. Her clinical approach blends evidence-based methods - including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices - and she incorporates hypnotherapy interventions when they are appropriate to a person’s goals. Marylou emphasizes a holistic, respectful, and compassionate stance, tailoring the therapeutic dialogue and treatment plan to each person’s unique needs and circumstances. Messaging is used as an adjunct between sessions rather than as a primary form of therapy.

Marylou is not currently accepting new clients. She continues to maintain a focus on practical strategies and collaborative work that support meaningful change and improved wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Marylou integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her work to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills. Mindfulness techniques can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of concerns, including grief and coping with life changes.

When appropriate, Marylou incorporates hypnotherapy as an adjunct tool to support relaxation, motivation, and behavior change. Hypnotherapy is used selectively alongside other interventions to reinforce therapeutic goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marylou works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine strategies to create a personalized path forward.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many clients, including flexible scheduling and access from home via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Messaging is typically used to supplement sessions rather than as the main therapy method.
