About Marilyn

Dr. Marilyn Thomas is an LPC based in Texas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes helping clients navigate parenting, communication and family issues, as well as identity-related matters such as LGBT concerns and multicultural themes. Her practice also addresses anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and caregiving stress, plus focused topics like adoption and foster care or blended family dynamics.

With three years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor, Dr. Thomas aims to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings candidly.

She encourages clients to view beginning therapy as an act of courage and partners with them to set collaborative goals. Though her approaches are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, she personalizes care to each person's situation and priorities while offering coaching-oriented support when appropriate.

Approach to Evidence-Based Care and Online Options



Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify and shift negative thinking and behavioral patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Skills-based coaching techniques support practical goal setting and problem-solving for life transitions, parenting challenges, and managing ADHD-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods over time so the treatment fit evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing appointments through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that best supports engagement and progress.
