About Marilyn
Marilyn Priebe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues. Marilyn emphasizes practical support and straightforward conversation as people sort through what feels heavy or stuck.
She approaches work with the idea that each person knows their story best. She looks for existing strengths and uses them as a starting point. In sessions she helps people name the problem, try small changes, and track what helps over time.
Marilyn also addresses longer-term or layered struggles such as family of origin issues, codependency, control issues, and problems that follow a serious illness or loss. She has experience with life transitions including divorce, aging and end-of-life concerns, and working through grief tied to hospice or cancer.
People bring a wide range of concerns, from panic attacks and phobias to postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress. Marilyn helps with practical steps for coping, breathing and grounding strategies, and planning next actions when feelings are overwhelming.
She works in English and draws on three decades of practice to guide each conversation. The first sessions focus on understanding the immediate problem and setting simple goals. From there she and the client choose what to try next and watch how it fits into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Marilyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach involves short-term problem solving and behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and avoidant patterns. This helps when panic, phobias, or daily worry interfere with functioning. Another common focus is grief- and loss-oriented work that helps people make sense of what’s happened and plan ways to manage difficult days.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn starts by listening to what feels most pressing and then tries methods that fit the person’s goals and energy level. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together as needed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, or allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break. Licensed professionals often use web or phone sessions to support continuity of care while people balance everyday demands.
