Marxlenin Burgos, LCSW

Marxlenin Burgos is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She works in English and Spanish and draws on nine years of experience to guide conversations toward realistic change.

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on small, doable steps people can practice between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking and actions that match personal values.

Marxlenin also uses client-centered and narrative methods to listen closely to each person’s story. She helps people untangle family patterns, attachment concerns, and issues that come up around adoption or blended families. Practical problem solving is paired with attention to how the past shapes present choices.

Her work includes addressing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges around fatherhood and family of origin. She talks with people about guilt, shame, forgiveness, and infidelity in direct, respectful ways.

Marxlenin frames therapy as collaboration. She tailors the conversation and treatment plan to each person’s needs and pace, offering phone, video, live chat, or text-based sessions. Her license is LCSW and she practices from New Jersey.

CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online

Marxlenin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that get in the way and try different responses. CBT focuses on clear, practical exercises you can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and stress and improve mood.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most and take actions that align with those values. ACT combines values work with simple mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. In sessions she uses a client-centered stance to listen, reflect, and shape plans that fit each person’s life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marxlenin will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time so the work fits how you live and what you want to change. She frames therapy as collaborative and paced to your needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy routines.
