About Marion
Marion Saulque is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She shifted careers from automotive mechanic to counseling in her early 40s, bringing practical resilience and life experience to her work. Marion draws on a direct, down-to-earth style and a touch of humor to help people navigate hard changes.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar concerns, and trauma. Marion has experience supporting women leaving domestic violence situations and those in substance use recovery, which shaped her understanding of trauma and survival.
Background and approach
She also works with concerns like anger, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and multicultural questions. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Marion uses client-centered methods and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to build practical skills.
She aims to teach two usable tools each week so people can try and practice what fits their life. Marion brings a culturally aware perspective and identifies as Native American. She describes herself as nonjudgmental and spiritual, and she values respect for all living things.
That outlook informs how she listens and responds. Change can feel risky and tiring, and Marion recognizes that. She focuses on steady progress and clear, real-world strategies.
Her goal is to help people move toward a life they find meaningful and manageable.

How Marion's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions; it is useful for stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Marion uses CBT to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or anger symptoms.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for coping with strong reactions, panic, or patterns of crisis behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts strategies if something is not helping. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer session time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
