Marlea Mazyck, LCSW, LISW

Marlea Mazyck is a licensed clinical social worker based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. She centers care on each person's strengths and values, and she supports people who are trying to make meaningful change in their lives.

She uses clear, practical conversations to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on small, doable steps you can take between meetings and on ways to cope with strong emotions. Marlea listens first and then offers strategies that match a person's goals and situation.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered principles. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviors, helps people identify what matters most to them, and keeps the person's preferences in view when planning next steps.

She brings five years of professional experience to her practice and holds the LCSW and LISW credentials. Her background includes helping people manage compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, and life transitions like midlife crises or end-of-life concerns.

Marlea also focuses on issues such as attachment struggles, guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, and women's issues. She aims to create an atmosphere where people feel heard, can try out new ways of coping, and build on their own strengths.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Marlea often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try concrete changes that reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward a meaningful life. Client-centered work means sessions begin with listening closely and following the person's lead so therapy fits their pace and priorities.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Marlea will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and then try strategies together. The plan can shift as needs change, and she aims to involve people in deciding which methods feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use a full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and to continue care without extra travel.
