Licensed to practice in Kentucky and accepts 26 insurances. Specializes in Grief, Life Transitions, Older Adults and 10 more.
Hello, I am Dr. Marilyn L. Sails, the owner and licensed practitioner with Comfort Care Counseling with Dr. Sails. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting older adults and families through life’s most tender transitions. I hold both a Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) and a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Kentucky. I have dedicated my career to helping patients navigate grief, trauma, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns with dignity and compassion. My practice, Comfort Care Counseling, is rooted in Christian faith and designed especially for adults 50 and older. Whether we meet in my office, via telehealth or in the comfort of your home, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where emotional healing and spiritual restoration go hand in hand.
Your first session is a gentle beginning. We’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss your concerns, and explore what brought you to therapy. You can expect a warm, respectful conversation free of judgment and full of compassion. I’ll explain how Comfort Care Counseling works, answer any questions, and begin crafting a care plan that reflects your emotional goals and spiritual values. Whether you’re grieving, adjusting to a new season of life, or simply seeking peace, our first meeting is the first step toward healing with faith as our foundation.
My therapeutic approach blends clinical expertise with deep empathy and spiritual care. I believe emotional healing is most powerful when it’s grounded in grace, compassion, and biblical wisdom. I will walk alongside clients as they process grief, adjust to life changes, and rediscover peace and purpose. Each session is tailored to honor your story, your faith, and your emotional needs. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and gently guided toward healing.
I am best positioned to serve adults 50 and over who are navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, or the challenges of aging who are seeking a supportive, faith-informed space to reflect and grow. Many of my clients value a compassionate, structured approach that helps them reframe unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen resilience, and find renewed purpose. Whether their goals involve managing stress, deepening spiritual grounding, or building practical coping skills, I work alongside them to create a path toward healing and hope.

In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a structured, collaborative approach that helps clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns while building healthier coping strategies. I integrate CBT techniques such as thought records, behavioral activation, and cognitive restructuring, tailoring them to the unique needs of older adults and often blending them with faith-based reflection. This method allows clients to actively participate in their healing process, fostering resilience, hope, and practical skills they can apply beyond the therapy room.

Dr. Sails’ natural giftedness in counseling shone forth immediately. Her ability to accurately distill our conversation and develop a set of goals that were in alignment with my reason for seeking counseling without me speaking my goals was truly appreciated. She heard what I said. She heard what I didn’t say. That was a beautiful outcome of talk therapy with Dr. Sails. Additionally, she is insightful as well as genuinely affirming. I highly recommend her.

The first thing about Dr Sails was her spirituality, I am a woman of faith and I believe in God and prayer and she express both. She listened and eased my mind letting me know that my feelings was valid. I would and will recommend her to other caregivers who is felling the same.

We had a very productive fact finding session. Spending time with Dr. Marilyn Sails was very beneficial to me. She was very attentive to what I had to say and my concerns. She gave me must needed action plans for me to reach to the Social Worker and Case Manager regarding my lymphedema issues and getting a home health visit for my swelling issues.
