Marlene Dmytryshyn, LCSW

Marlene Dmytryshyn is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 40 years of experience to relationship and life-change concerns. She focuses on helping people navigate grief, intimacy issues, family tensions, and the questions that come with midlife changes. Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths.

Marlene listens first and then helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations aim to clarify feelings, identify patterns, and find small, reachable steps forward.

She has worked across many settings over four decades and has supported people facing loss, serious illness, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. That background informs how she helps people manage complicated emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation.

Marlene also addresses relationship strains such as infidelity, divorce and separation, abandonment concerns, and challenges around intimacy. She helps clients consider life purpose and next steps when midlife questions arise.

Her style is respectful and steady. She encourages realistic goals and practical changes that fit into everyday life. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that help with relationships and life transitions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behavior and then practices new ways of reacting. This kind of work can help with relationship conflict, anxiety about change, and day-to-day coping.

Another approach emphasizes building on a person's strengths and life story to find meaning and direction. It supports people dealing with grief, caregiving stress, midlife decisions, and questions about life purpose by connecting insight to small, manageable actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques as needed and checking in about what is helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a hectic day. It also helps people who need flexibility around work, caregiving, or treatment for chronic illness.
