About Marian

Marian Maguire is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with two decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career transitions, grief, trauma, and attention-related concerns including ADHD. She brings a collaborative, strengths-based perspective that emphasizes practical tools alongside exploration of values and goals.

Background and approach

Marian's background includes a Master of Arts and extensive clinical practice in Massachusetts, where she has worked with a broad range of emotional and life challenges. Her style draws from client-centered principles and evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods, shaping a personalized plan for each person.

Sessions are oriented toward clear goals, skill-building, and realistic steps that fit the client's life and priorities. Marian describes therapy as a team effort in which she supports, mentors, and empowers people as they navigate change, cope with ongoing stressors, and pursue greater well-being.

Approaches and Access: Practical Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, offering a respectful, empathic environment that helps people clarify values and make decisions that feel true to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward specific goals rather than spending long periods on problem histories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then blend methods that fit the client's situation. This shared decision-making helps tailor strategies that are practical and aligned with what the person hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access licensed professionals with flexibility around schedules and location. These formats allow people to continue consistent therapeutic work despite busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations, and enable ongoing skill practice, check-ins, and problem-solving in ways that can fit day-to-day routines.
