About Maryleigh
Maryleigh King is a licensed social worker who helps adults facing relationship challenges, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and life changes. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people get through hard moments and move toward clearer goals. Her style is warm and focused on building trust quickly so people feel heard and understood.
She offers short-term and longer-term support depending on what a person needs. Sessions often include learning new ways to handle intense feelings, practicing communication skills, and setting small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Maryleigh blends talk therapy with hands-on tools people can use between sessions. Maryleigh earned a Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and holds an MI LMSW. She has worked in clinical settings for six years and brings that experience into each session.
Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, and career or life transitions. Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She also uses relationship-focused techniques from the Gottman and Imago approaches when appropriate.
Those methods guide how she helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. People often come to her when they are overwhelmed by strong emotions, stuck in repeating patterns, or unsure how to move forward after loss or separation. Maryleigh aims to make each session practical, respectful, and goal-oriented so progress feels real and manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and anger when someone wants clearer direction in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving connection through more open emotional communication, which can help people dealing with intimacy or attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maryleigh works collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to try techniques in session and report back on what helped so the work stays practical and responsive.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or day-to-day practice of skills. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
