Maryleigh King is a licensed therapist who earned a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She works with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, difficulties with emotional regulation, and patterns of unhealthy coping, as well as those pursuing personal or professional growth and greater self-efficacy.

Maryleigh approaches therapy with strong faith in the therapeutic process and a belief in people’s capacity to find their way with support. She brings a warm, present, engaged, compassionate, and genuine manner to sessions, and she views it as an honor to accompany clients as they move toward the next version of themselves.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that align with each person’s values and goals, helping clients build skills, resilience, and clearer direction during challenging seasons of life. She aims to create a supportive space where adults can explore change, process loss, repair relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maryleigh King integrates several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages clients to clarify their values and to build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action; it can help with anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which is useful for depression, anxiety, stress, and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and presence to support the client's own growth and self-discovery, which can be especially helpful during grief, relationship work, and personal development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maryleigh works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals to determine which methods align best with a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time to fit what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from a licensed therapist regardless of location.
