Marylou Biasotto, LCSW

Marylou Biasotto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, jealousy, and related struggles. Her tone is respectful and compassionate and she focuses on practical, everyday steps people can try right away.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions blend mindfulness and cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused work. Hypnotherapy is used when it fits a person's goals, and trauma-focused strategies are available for people who need them. Marylou frames change as a step-by-step process and aims for techniques people can use between meetings.

Her background includes community mental health, independent practice, work with prison populations, and international social work. That range shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach and a comfort with different life circumstances, including living abroad. She describes herself as sensitive to diversity and to the challenges that come with major life transitions.

Marylou emphasizes collaboration. She listens for what matters most, then develops a plan together with the person sitting across from her. The goal is clearer coping skills, improved relationships, and better daily functioning rather than quick fixes.

When contacting the practice, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking. She uses messaging only as an adjunct between sessions and does not provide therapy primarily through messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Marylou uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to build calm and present-moment awareness. Mindfulness techniques often involve brief exercises that help lower reactivity and improve focus, which can support coping with stress, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful for daily life and long-term progress.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some therapeutic exercises and homework translate well to remote sessions, and Marylou uses messaging only as an adjunct between sessions rather than as a primary therapy method.
