Dr. Marie Isom, LCPC

Dr. Marie Isom is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She draws on eight years in independent practice and a longer history in the mental health field to offer steady support and practical strategies.

She uses simple, direct conversation to figure out what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals like improving sleep, building confidence, coping with life changes, or addressing jealousy and impulsive behaviors. The tone is respectful and down-to-earth, with attention to what works day to day.

Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means listening first, then trying small changes in thinking and habits that can make daily life easier. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when people want practical steps and clearer momentum.

Dr. Isom has helped people with parenting stress, caregiver strain, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with obsessive thoughts, attention challenges, financial stress, and family communication problems. Sessions are tailored to the situation and adjusted as needs shift.

Her practice is for English speakers in Maryland and she does not take international clients. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Using therapy approaches that fit your life online

Client-centered therapy focuses on a person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and explore options for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and obsessive thinking. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus and calm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings to build lasting habits. Licensed professionals can work with you to adapt exercises so they work in everyday life rather than in a clinic setting.
