Welcome! My name is Marian Robinson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia with over 20 years of professional mental health experience. I have experience in helping clients with low motivation, relationship issues (individual), self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, and end of life issues. I take an eclectic, person-centered approach, CBT and psychodynamic approach where you are in the driver seat in your own recovery. I am here to support you in that process and will meet you where you’re at, without judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I would be proud to help you get started.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked as a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience working with older adults, adults, adolescents, and families I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping individuals (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Since becoming a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience working, I developed a passion in working with older adults, adults, adolescents, and families. My clients over the years, have been eager to improve, but lack the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their mental health stressors. This is where I come in which is to help you to identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has been my main treatment modality in my practice for the past 20 years. It has been my experience that it has helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and impact your life. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy is a treatment modality approach that I have been using in my practice for the past 20 years. It draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques that I found to be beneficial in helping clients address their mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, coping and adjusting difficulties. It is a flexible and multifaceted treatment approach that allows the use of the most effective treatment methods that will help you feel more interested and engaged in the therapy process.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy has been one of my main treatment modalities in my practice for the past 20 years. Similar to psychoanalytic therapy in that it is an in-depth form of talk therapy based on the theories and principles but less focus on the patient-therapist relationship. We will use psychodynamic to develop an understanding that recognizing behaviors for what they are can help clients build healthy coping mechanisms. We will learn why you do what you do, tying past events and subconscious constructs into present behaviors and behavior patterns.
Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling has been a part of my clinical practice for 16 years. It has been my experience that this type of therapy is beneficial for clients that want to integrate traditional talk therapy methodologies with Christian belief practices by incorporating theological concepts.1 We will us the treatment modality to focus navigating spiritual concerns and everyday life struggles encountered by Christians.

She is very skilled and truly wonderful to work with. The therapist listens carefully, explains everything clearly step by step, and checks in often to make sure the client understands and feels comfortable. Her approach is very supportive and rewarding.

The connection we share fosters a relationship grounded in open and direct communication. Through my work with Doc, I feel heard and have developed tools that have strengthened my ability to navigate other relationships.

I appreciate that she received everything I brought up with understanding, empathy, and compassion. She's down to earth, and can relate (or knows someone who relates) to the things and am going through, and makes me feel I am not alone.
