About Marie
Dr. Marie Isom is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with eight years in private practice and 19 years working in the mental health field. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and major life changes. She also lists experience with trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting concerns, ADHD, and blended family issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way.
Mindfulness strategies are introduced to help with overwhelming feelings and to improve attention and sleep. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone is stuck about making a change or unsure which next step to take. Solution-Focused Therapy tools are used to build doable solutions that fit everyday life.
Dr. Isom describes working with respect and sensitivity. She helps people sort priorities, practice new ways of communicating, and manage emotions such as anger, jealousy, or emptiness. Many clients bring concerns tied to family relationships and blended household changes, and she addresses those issues with practical guidance.

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Dr. Isom uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities so the therapist and client can set personal goals and next steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits that feed anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief exercises for calming the body and improving sleep and attention. These approaches are explained and tried together, and the choice of methods is a collaborative decision based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist will check in and adjust methods as progress and challenges become clear.

It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require being on camera when that helps someone take part more comfortably.
